Climate Consultant

Alongside growing global recognition, YBI believes that entrepreneurship has an important role to play in tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges. One of the most significant and existential challenges facing societies and ecosystems everywhere is climate change.

The objective of this consultancy role is to explore and map out what work is already being done globally to support the development of early-stage climate entrepreneurship, to assess where and how YBI can provide climate entrepreneurship support through its network to have maximum impact and to establish YBI’s knowledge, expertise and position in the climate entrepreneurship space.

Specific research objectives are:

1. Undertake a mapping of climate entrepreneurship support that exists globally for young entrepreneurs, assessing where the gaps and greatest needs are
2. Based on this, analyse where YBI can have the most impact on youth-led climate entrepreneurship, given our expertise, existing support programme, and membership
3. Help YBI develop its knowledge and hone its climate entrepreneurship strategy and make recommendations for service offering/s to our membership, which will lead to the future development of a practical support programme available to YBI’s members
4. Develop an external report, capturing key research findings, and recommendations and setting out YBI’s strategy for climate entrepreneurship

Application deadline: 9.00 am (GMT) on 04 November 2024.
