Pretoria, South Africa International Water Management Institute Full time

**The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT**, a CGIAR Research Center, is seeking a dynamic & multi skilled Climate Security Specialist.
- This position will be based in Pretoria, South Africa, and will be hosted by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI)._

The Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people’s lives. Alliance solutions address the global crises of malnutrition, climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. The Alliance is part of CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food-secure future. With novel partnerships, the Alliance generates evidence and mainstreams innovations to transform food systems and landscapes so that they sustain the planet, drive prosperity, and nourish people.

The primary goal of this role is to contribute to state-of-the-art knowledge generation on matters concerning climate, conflict, displacement, inequality, gender, and peacebuilding within the Climate Resilience (ClimBer) and the Fragility, Conflict, and Migration (FCM) research initiatives. For both initiatives, the research focus will primarily concentrate on:

- The impacts of climate risks on vulnerable populations and migrants, encompassing climate adaptation, resilience, and their interconnection with conflict.
- Gender, social equity, and climate-related insecurity (encompassing issues of unequal access, social cohesion, marginalization, and political economy across various scales).
- Local institutions and peace (cross-cutting considerations spanning the humanitarian, development, and peace sectors within fragile and intricate environments, with a programmatic emphasis).
- Grasping mobility and forced climate migration, the driving forces, and repercussions at both origin and destination, revealing the climate conflict migration nexus, and discerning the role of diaspora and remittances.
- Evidence for Climate Security: Grasping the intricacies of climate and security to facilitate well-informed, gender-sensitive, and socially equitable decision-making. This research realm seeks to unravel the principal impact routes that connect climate, agriculture, and security in diverse geographical contexts, enriching our understanding of the intricate, context-specific, socially diverse, and dynamic paths through which climate influences conflict risk.
- Programming for Climate Security: Devising climate security-aware strategies within agricultural contexts. The primary aim of this segment is to create a global framework that informs the blueprint and execution of comprehensive strategies at regional, national, and subnational tiers. These strategies aim to enhance interventions, research, policies, and investments, with the aim of mitigating and preventing conflicts, minimizing disparities and vulnerabilities among populations, and enhancing resilience.
- Policy for Climate Security: Articulating the function of food systems in a climate crisis for the formulation of policies and frameworks. This research sphere aims to involve communities, civil society, and governing stakeholders across multiple levels of governance. The objective is to assess and enhance the consistency, integration, and efficacy of policies within the domains of climate-related concerns and security.
- Finance for Climate Security: Channeling finances by aligning objectives and incentives throughout the Humanitarian Development and Peace Nexus. This research category aims to identify and prioritize climate adaptation investments with significant peace potential, aligning the climate adaptation and peace and security objectives of governments and donors.

**DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES**:

- Support the implementation of the Climate Resilience (ClimBer) and Fragility Conflict and Migration (FCM) research initiatives in Southern Africa.
- Assist in identifying, reaching out to, and engaging partners to ensure that the climate security agenda is embraced by local, subnational, and national agencies, platforms, and organizations in Southern Africa.
- Contribute to revising or enhancing national policies and plans by the Climate Security team to integrate climate security and gender considerations into national action plans.
- Contribute to the planning and execution of high-quality qualitative research on climate change, resilience, conflict, displacement, security, peacebuilding, and gender in Southern Africa.
- Aid in the development and publication of knowledge products (white papers, blog posts, peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, etc.) under the ClimBer and FCM initiatives.
- Disseminate research analyses, findings, and recommendations to diverse audiences.
- Participate in the development of research proposals for activities related to climate change, gender, inequality, peace, and security.
- Assist in expanding
