Transition Champions Fellowship
Job Description
Title: Transition Champions Fellowship
Company Name: Oxfam
Vacancy: Not specific
Job Location: Anywhere in Bangladesh
Employment Status: Full-time
Educational Requirements:
∎ A postgraduate and/or young professional with an academic background in Social Science and Engineering, public policy, renewable energy, Environmental Science, and/or any related subject
Job Context:
∎ Background: Bangladesh ranks among the top countries most affected by climate change, facing extreme weather events annually. Despite its active role in the climate justice movement, Bangladesh is also striving for export-oriented industrial growth driven by fossil-fuel-based energy, leading to an alarming rise in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the industrial sector. While the country is a signatory of the Paris Agreement with ambitious emission reduction plans, the actual progress remains limited. Renewable energy adoption falls far short of targets, and the industrial sector lacks an effective action plan, especially for the carbon footprint of key industries like ready-made garments. Climate mitigation strategies often overlook human rights, focusing primarily on technological shifts. Oxfam and other human rights organizations advocate for a just transition to ensure the well-being of communities tied to polluting energy industries, preventing their exclusion in the transition to a low emissions economy.
∎ Scope of Work: Oxfam recognizes that a Just Transition is highly important to ensure climate justice along with emission reduction. Oxfam is trying to facilitate a knowledge based just transition in the industrial sector through a multi-stakeholder dialogue process with industry actors, government, workers, consumers, CSOs and global communities. We want to create a space for all to ensure a just transition in the RMG sector and to ensure that the country does not become a center of `invisible emissions trading` or an `emissions haven` for others while the global fight for climate justice and efforts for just transition is going on. This can happen if there is a significant shift in the narratives and key voices in the private sector as well as in the government, about the affordability and viability of renewables and a `possibility` of a `renewable energy-based future` for the industries and businesses in Bangladesh.
Additional Requirements:
∎ Age at most 30 years
