Duties and Responsibilities
The UN Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) is a data-focused, action-oriented initiative that drives deep reductions in methane emissions – the second biggest contributor to global climate change and a key opportunity to reduce warming in the near-term. IMEO’s mission is to provide the open, reliable, and actionable methane data needed to cut emissions at the speed and scale necessary to achieve the Paris Agreement goals.
To do this, IMEO is harnessing a methane data revolution under way thanks to rapidly advancing technology and momentum for methane action. IMEO collects, integrates, and reconciles data from methane-detecting satellites, scientific measurement studies, rigorous industry reporting through the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0), and national emissions inventories. These initiatives are game-changers for climate action – and as a core implementing partner of the Global Methane Pledge, IMEO is shaping the future of methane mitigation.
IMEO’s communications teams plays a critical role increasing the impact and visibility of our work. To advance its communications activities, IMEO seeks a creative, experienced, and growth-oriented individual to coordinate digital content development and social media presence.
Our team works in a fast-paced, international, and results-oriented environment, and we are driven by our vision and mission to enable the world to achieve its climate goals through rapid methane action.
