About Us

Generation Climate Europe (GCE) is the largest climate coalition of youth-led networks at the European level, pushing for stronger action from the EU on climate and environmental issues. GCE brings together 381 national organisations across 46 countries in Europe. We are guided by the voices of over 20 million young Europeans. Uniting European youth networks, GCE creates a platform for the youth to advocate for a just and green transition in Europe. GCE envisions a system that respects human rights and the planet, that includes the voice of youth and acknowledges our common, but differentiated responsibility in achieving a carbon-neutral and sustainable world.

About the Role

Transport is the only sector whose share in greenhouse gas emissions has been rising in the last decades in the EU. This is a major challenge for the region’s path to net zero, with individual cars and low-cost quick flights being the norm across Europe and on the rise. Why should low carbon travel be inaccessible? Young Europeans want to travel for leisure and learning, but doing so in a climate-conscious way is usually unaffordable and time consuming.

As Project Officer on Clean Mobility, you would be helping to advocate for an inclusive and sustainable European transport sector. This means monitoring the EU’s regulatory landscape, and making sure it goes in the sense of affordability and decarbonisation. A big focus of our work is therefore on making rail more inclusive for young people.

About You

• Available to work remotely for around 1-2 hours a week (flexible)
• You have genuine interest in clean mobility topics in Europe and understand that decarbonising transport is urgent and complex
• You can work in a team and are self-driven
• You are connected to the European context: as we focus on EU advocacy, we welcome applicants with an interest and general understanding of how the EU operates and/or a European background that facilitates this knowledge. It is preferable that you are based within a timezone that is -2 or +2 from CET/CEST as it is our main working territory.

Tasks

• Attend and engage in the bi-weekly working group meetings
• Support Project Leads with project operations
• Support the work plan and development activities on clean mobility
• Help research and write articles and position papers on European policies around transport
• Contribute to the organisation and execution of events.
