Circular Urban Development – Kosovo4Green in Pristina is seeking to fill the position of:
Communication Specialist
The overall purpose of the post
German Government, through GIZ Kosovo, has been active in the country for more than 20 years, contributing to the development of Kosovo institutions and its society. GIZ’s objective is to contribute to the improvement of citizen's lives and welfare. In this sense, GIZ has been present through different projects contributing to the 5 pillars of the Green Agenda.
By signing the Sofia Declaration on the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans as part of the “Berlin Process” in November 2020, Western Balkans countries have pledged to follow the European Union in its de carbonisation path towards a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. Alongside other commitments, the Kosovo Government has taken many actions regarding the implementation of the commitments deriving from the Sofia Declaration, signed by the Western Balkans Countries in 2020. The adaptation of the legal framework is a work in process, while incentives to accelerate the decarbonization of the economy have been taking place, contributing this way to the awareness raising of the population.
Recognizing all the work that has been done and the challenges that Kosovo faces related to climate change, it is crucial to have an informed community, citizens, that are aware of the impact of climate change and their place in all of this. The objective of the position “Communication Specialist Green Agenda” is to ensure this on behalf of GIZ.
