About the Global Gas & Oil Network
The Global Gas and Oil Network (GGON) is an international non-profit network of civil society organisations. It supports global efforts to stop oil and gas expansion and catalyse a just and equitable managed decline of existing production in line with limiting global warming to 1.5ºC, and in a way that centres the needs of people, communities and biodiversity. Since its creation in 2017, the network has steadily grown to over 300 organisations across more than 60 countries on 6 continents.
GGON provides movement infrastructure for a diverse group set of members and partners through a variety of approaches, including convening critical conversations, coordinating strategy development, commissioning research and analysis, and providing communications tools and support. We host a number of issue-specific thematic working groups, one of which is focused on National Oil Companies. GGON operates with a small secretariat that is guided by a strategic advisory committee.
Position Summary
Greater global coordination and advocacy around National Oil Companies (NOCs) is a strategic priority for GGON. NOCs—in which the government is the sole or the dominant shareholder—produce half of the world’s oil and gas, and invest 40 percent of the capital in the global oil and gas industry. They are also important for millions of citizens in the developing countries where many NOCs operate. It is therefore critical for climate as well as socio-economic and development reasons that NOCs are transformed as part of the energy transition needed to limit temperatures to below 1.5C.
GGON is looking for a consultant to take on responsibilities for providing facilitative leadership of the NOC work for the GGON secretariat. The coordinator will work in an effective and highly collaborative manner with a diverse range of partners – from grassroots movements representing impacted communities to policy influencers at the UN and G20 governments.
