It's out!

The Executive Director of the #LossAndDamage Fund will play one of the most crucial roles in delivering #ClimateJustice.

We need someone who not only provides strategic leadership but also centres the Fund around the rights of communities and countries, while raising hundreds of billions of dollars to scale up finance to meet their needs.

Please share widely.
