We're looking for a Science Advisor to help ensure that the best available science is used to support climate litigation around the world.

ABOUT THE ROLE. CLN is a non-profit foundation that supports partners across the world to drive stronger climate action through litigation against high-emitting actors. We are now looking for a new Science Advisor to play a critical role in bridging the gap between science and law in the context of climate litigation, including by supporting the translation of key legal concepts and standards into actionable remedies in climate cases.  This is a new post that offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to climate action as we approach 2030, and to shape this new post within CLN. Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting legal teams on how best available science can be integrated to support and strengthen their legal and advocacy strategies, and advising on effective ways to present scientific data to national and regional courts.

• Assessing scientific and evidentiary gaps in ongoing and future climate cases, and working with CLN staff and external partners – including academic and scientific institutions – to explore ways to address those gaps in a manner consistent with legal principles.

• Supporting the translation of legal standards into scientific standards. For instance, translating the legal standards presented by the European Court of Human Rights in the KlimaSeniorinnen case into relevant national carbon budget reports, and exploring the implications of key principles of international environmental law to States’ or corporations’ mitigation efforts.

• Acting as a bridge between the legal and scientific communities.
  • Developing and maintaining relationships with leading climate scientists, academic institutions, and researchers.
  • Facilitating collaborations to ensure that legal teams have access to top-tier scientific expertise to support their cases.
  • Identifying opportunities to communicate the needs of the climate litigation community to relevant scientists (i.e. at conferences, workshops, expert meetings).

• Conducting ongoing research and preparing clear, concise briefing notes and explanations on key scientific issues for CLN staff and external partners.

Given this is a new role in the organisation and the evolving nature of the climate litigation field, we expect that there may be changes to how this role works in practice once the right candidate is in post.
