Job description
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.
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).
The Centre of Excellence on Gender-smart Solutions (CoE) is an initiative under the Global Shield that promotes and provides technical advisory support for integrating and scaling gender considerations into Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) policies and programmes. The CoE aggregates case studies, policy documents and publications and commissions research to address gender gaps and generate evidence that supports designing gender-responsive and inclusive CDRFI solutions. Additionally, the CoE offers tailored support to governments, regulators, financial institutions, and development partners, helping them integrate gender-responsive approaches into their policies and programs.
