Climate Clock — Africa Coordinator Position at Climate Clock

Climate Clock is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced climate justice program coordinator to expand our 2023 Africa-wide programs to 46 countries. Programs would include helping support grassroots activists deploy actions in each country, aligning strategy with African climate justice movement policy goals, engaging government decision-making bodies, and working with influencers and culture makers. Robust pilot programs are already operating in Ghana, Nigeria, and several other countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Our goal is to expand to support activists in East, Central and Southern Africa.
Candidates with deep connections to climate justice movements across the continent preferred.

About Climate Clock:
The Climate Clock is a simple, viral tool being used by activists and policy-makers around the world: a clock that visibly counts down the time remaining to prevent global warming rising above 1.5°C (our “DEADLINE”), while simultaneously tracking our progress on key systemic solutions (our “LIFELINES”). By showing us what we need to do by when, the Clock keeps the world’s attention focused on our critical mission — a rapid and bold transition to a safe, just climate future. The Clock broke the Internet when it first launched in 2020. Now, with clocks & grassroots teams in 30+ countries, and in the hands of climate champions from Greta Thunberg to Governor Jay Inslee to President Addo of Ghana to Hollywood Director Adam McKay, the Clock is poised to have global impact. The current climate timelines touted by most governments are dangerously behind what the science is actually telling us. But the Climate Clock’s unique combination of cultural power and scientific legitimacy provides the missing ingredient to reset our timeline. Join the team! Let’s #ActInTime!
