The Minderoo Foundation | Director, Climate Action | Perth
vor 4 Wochen
Minderoo Foundation takes on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change.
We incubate ideas, advocate for systems change and accelerate impact.
We push the limits of what is believed possible.
Minderoo Foundation is proudly Australian, independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions.
Through bold, collaborative and selfless action, we seek to dismantle the systems that entrench inequality and advocate for a fairer future.
Minderoo's Natural Ecosystems Focus Area drives Minderoo's work on natural ecosystems.
It is dedicated to restoring and maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems, safeguarded for all generations, focusing on the Indo-Pacific Ocean and through our global influence.
The 2030 Strategy targets this focus on the protection of biodiversity and habitats within Australia and its neighbouring waters, alongside efforts to accelerate a sustainable blue economy through our global leadership in ocean finance and bolster the partnerships required to make this a reality.
The Strategy will also seek to foster innovations and harness internal research expertise through OceanOmics.
Climate change and sustainable ocean food production are additional programs that are under development to further our protection of oceans and natural ecosystems.
This work will see an increase in ecosystem resilience to human-driven threats, including climate change.

• Drive initiatives related to decarbonisation, carbon dioxide removal solutions (land sinks, ocean sinks, engineered), and advocate for evidence-based policy solutions.
• Foster a collaborative and inclusive team environment, driving cross-sector engagement and partnerships.
• Ensure the Foundation is at the forefront of climate science, leading impactful projects and research.
• Ensure we are operating in alignment with our Founders' intent and that we apply a long term "resolve the problem" approach.
• Collaborate and build effective relationships across Minderoo.
