Jetzt bewerben: Intern (m/f/d) Secretariat of the G7/V20 Global Shield against Climate Risks – Innovation, Implementation and Evaluation bei Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) – Arbeitsort Bonn

The Global Shield against Climate Risks (GS) was launched by the G7 under Germany’s presidency in 2022 in close partnership with the Vulnerable Twenty Group of finance ministers (V20). Through this collaborative partnership, the V20 and the G7 want to scale up further action and support to address the urgent needs of poor and vulnerable people and countries facing increasing risks of losses and damages from climate change. The GS aims to provide more and better financial protection, and thus enable quick and reliable funding before or just after disasters happen, and protect governments, communities, businesses, and households against the impacts of disasters. To achieve its objective, the GS will facilitate evidence-based and inclusive analyses of countries’ protection gaps, upon which countries will be able to submit requests to a flexible, global Financing Structure which will mobilize the needed support for more systematic financial protection.

The GS builds on the InsuResilience Global Partnership (IGP), a multi-actor partnership founded in 2017 with the aim of strengthening the resilience of developing countries and protecting the lives and livelihoods of poor and vulnerable people from climate change. IGP Secretariat has been hosted by GIZ since IGP was founded in 2017. With the launch of the GS, the IGP Secretariat will merge into the GS Secretariat, which will span across a GIZ-hosted team and a team hosted by the V20. The GS Secretariat will deliver technical, logistical and coordinative functions for the implementation of the GS. This entails support for the political leadership of the GS by the GS Board, the coordination of technical and implementation work via the GS Coordination Hub (GS-CH), and advisory services to GS partner countries via the GS Technical Advisory Group (TAG).
