Duties and Responsibilities
The UN Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) is a data-driven, action-focused initiative that drives deep reductions in methane emissions– the second biggest contributor to global climate change and a key opportunity to reduce warming in the near-term.

To do this, IMEO is harnessing a methane data revolution under way thanks to rapidly advancing technology and momentum for methane action.

These initiatives are game-changers for climate action – and as a core implementing partner of the Global Methane Pledge, IMEO is shaping the future of methane mitigation.

The Senior Communications Expert will develop communications and advocacy strategies, identify strategic events to engage in, manage IMEO’s digital presence and support the production of communications, marketing and advocacy materials and knowledge products.
