Militaries are major contributors to the climate crisis but it remains unclear how large their greenhouse gas emissions are because reporting under domestic and international frameworks is often voluntary or incomplete.
Since 2021, CEOBS and our international network of academic and civil society partners have played an important role in drawing attention to this data gap. Our Military Emissions Gap project works to communicate the scale of the reporting gap, to mainstream the topic in climate and military spaces, and to help create the conditions whereby the emissions from military activities and armed conflicts are properly documented and understood. We work with a wide range of stakeholders, from militaries, academia and the media, to policy makers and peace groups.
Research is vital to the project, underpinning all of our advocacy and awareness-raising activities and, thanks to recent grant funding we are now in a position to create a dedicated post for the project.

You will work with our Climate Advocacy Coordinator, Director and academic partners to produce and contribute to unique research on military and conflict emissions, military-related climate impacts, and comparative studies on civil mitigation and decarbonisation strategies.

-
Seeking new networking opportunities and relationships.
-
Representing CEOBS at domestic and international events.
-
Providing support to the Climate Advocacy Coordinator.
-
Following relevant environmental trends and dynamics and their intersection with the military sector and climate change.
Essential requirements
-
A good degree in the field of environmental sciences and a minimum of 5 years experience working as an environmental professional.
-
Demonstrated experience in carbon accounting.
-
