The Earth's atmosphere is warming, faster than it probably ever has. In some cases, weather patterns, climates and natural environments are changing quicker than wildlife or people can adapt. It is proved that emissions from human activities are the main cause of global warming.

Cities account for 70% of carbon emissions and generate more than 80% of global GDP. Cities everywhere face a wide range of environmental and climate-related challenges as a result of rapidly growing urban populations. In cities, problems tend to multiply, but they are also important test beds and multipliers of solutions. As centers of both political and corporate power, cities can lead the climate transition. For those reasons, WWF created the One Planet City Challenge and City Solutions (OPCC) to highlight some of the most inspiring cities, and their innovative solutions.

We are looking for committed, result-driven candidate for the position of Junior Project Officer, One Planet City Challenge and City Solutions (Base in Hue, Vietnam), who will provide support to the Project Manager in the planning, management, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the One Planet City Challenge (OPCC) projects’ activities to ensure compliance with the Project Document and WWF’s contractual obligations and ensure close collaboration between the project’s management, partners and other relevant stakeholders
