About Us<br />
<br />
Climate change is one of the greatest long-term challenges facing the world today. The science is clear and unambiguous: climate change is happening. Climate change and other associated environmental effects are impacting human and ecosystem wellbeing, as well as sectors with obvious climate sensitivities such as forestry, agriculture, fisheries, hydroelectricity, transportation, tourism, insurance, and trade. Geographic location, socioeconomic conditions, and reliance on food from the land converge with climate change to create unique pressures for Indigenous, northern, remote and coastal communities in Canada.<br />
<br />
CLIMAtlantic Inc. (climatlantic.ca) is a non-profit organization that is part of a national network of climate services centres (see the Canadian Centre for Climate Services). CLIMAtlantic supports adaptation in the Atlantic region by identifying champions, builds relationships, shares information, leads where necessary and creates a space for all those interested in building resilience to the impacts of climate change.<br />
<br />
CLIMAtlantic is playing an increasing role in supporting capacity building around climate change adaptation across the region and in building networks of practitioners that incorporate adaptation in their practice.<br />
<br />
About Our Opportunity<br />

You will play an important role as a team member at CLIMAtlantic, as the coordinator of online and in-person learning programs, and as the lead of a community of practice.<br />
<br />
The successful applicant will apply both technical knowledge and their unique perspectives to the work. Climate change adaptation crosses many disciplines, so the position requires knowledge, awareness, and/or ability to learn about different knowledge systems. Similarly, adaptation requires a broad skill set. Understanding which skills need to be developed and how they relate to advancing adaptation in the region will also be key.<br />
<br />

Work with a regional advisory team to develop new learning opportunities to meet these needs.<br />
Establish connections to reach targeted audiences and communicate the training opportunity.<br />
Contribute to the development and implementation of a monitoring and evaluation system for the climate adaptation training.<br />

Experience in educational design or developing learning modules, managing an online curriculum, is considered an asset.<br />
Must be creative, self-directed, and organized with a proven track record of working both independently and collaboratively.<br />
Experience in grant writing, carrying out needs assessments, monitoring and evaluation in experiential learning and more immersive, arts-, and game-based forms of engagement is an asset.<br />
