Highlights will include: leading on the delivery of public diplomacy events; strengthening relationships with relevant stakeholders; supporting lobbying efforts, visits and social media profiling of the Embassy’s climate and energy work; and engaging collaboratively with colleagues from across the Embassy - in particular colleagues in the Department for International Trade and the Science and Innovation Network - to deliver green growth objectives in partnership with the business and research communities.
