Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC): Team Leader

The Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) project is recruiting a Team Leader to continue the implementation of this ambitious and innovative collaborative project.

ACCC is a Sino-UK-Swiss collaboration, which brings together the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Swiss Agency for Development and Co-operation (SDC), China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

The Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) project aims to improve international knowledge on the assessment of climate impacts and risks, and develop practical approaches to climate change adaptation, by helping China integrate climate adaptation into the development process to reduce its vulnerability to climate change, and by sharing this experience with other countries. There are five main outputs:

a.    Improved development of, and access to, climate change science in China;

b.    Comprehensive risk assessments in selected sectors, based upon vulnerability and impacts, produced at national and provincial level;

c.    Climate risks integrated into planning and management within the three project provinces, and informing national level processes;

d.    Increased awareness and capacity among Chinese policymakers and other key stakeholders to address climate change adaptation within China’s development process;

e.    Knowledge sharing between China, UK, and other countries in Asia and Africa, to further develop climate change adaptation approaches, and better understand the political economy of adaptation to climate change

The project works nationally and in three provinces – Ningxia Autonomous Region, Guangdong, and Inner Mongolia, and focuses on four socio-economic sectors – agriculture, water resources, health and disaster risk reduction.

The project is being delivered by a range of technical and research partners. In China, several relevant research and official organisations have been contracted. They are each being supported by a range of international consultants. There is a central Project Management Office (PMO), based in Beijing. More information on ACCC can be found at www.ccadaptation.org.cn

ACCC started in June 2009, and is therefore already well underway. As ACCC moves into its third year, the focus on activities will shift onto outputs focusing on knowledge-sharing, communication and South-South activities between China and other developing countries. The original end date of the project was June 2012, however there will be a project extension of between 6 months and 2.5 years. This post will therefore finish at some point between December 2012 and December 2014. A final decision on the project extension, and therefore the length of this post, will be made before the end of this calendar year.

We are looking for a well-qualified, experienced and professional Team Leader to take the project into the later stages.

Job responsibilities

Responsibilities for this position include:

-       Implementation of existing project work plan, and development of new project work plan for later stages to focus on international knowledge-sharing and South-South activities.

-       Provide technical input into impact assessments and adaptation processes

-       Effective project management, including detailed planning and reporting to ACCC Senior Management Team.

-       Financial management of ACCC budget, using donor-compliant systems.

-       Organisation of events, including capacity-building workshops and knowledge-sharing / dissemination conferences

-       Monitoring and evaluation of project outcomes, including through the use of external evaluations.

-       Regular liaison with Chinese government counterparts.

-       Supervise and manage stakeholders engaged in the study, including the coordination of researchers in Chinese and international partner institutions

-       Strong written and oral communication skills

-       Demonstrated leadership and flexibility
