Program Background
Climate Resilient Communities
Action on climate change is at the heart of Australia's International Development Policy. The policy commits the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to respond to the needs of Indo-Pacific countries and evidence of the accelerating climate crisis by increasing our climate investments and better addressing climate risks.
Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) is DFAT's new flagship climate change program designed to help achieve Australia's International Development Policy and meet Australia's climate finance commitments over the next nine years (2024–33).
CRC will incentivise the flow of funds towards inclusive climate change programming—targeting community resilience in the water, food, and energy sectors— by co-funding bilateral and regional programs and attracting new sources of climate finance, while also raising the quality of climate integration across the sectoral programs.
Climate Resilient Communities Support Unit
DT Global has been contracted by DFAT to establish and manage the Climate Resilient Communities Support Unit (CRCSU). The CRCSU provides a mechanism for DFAT Canberra and Posts to deliver enhanced climate and disaster resilience and integration programming, with the aim of enabling people in the Indo-Pacific to become more resilient to climate change and disasters.
The CRCSU will help achieve this through supporting a sustained increase in organisational capability and services for DFAT, providing access to specialist expertise, resources, and networks, through an efficient operational platform. The CRCSU provides this through the following core services:
Program cycle support
Climate change integration technical assistance across all development sectors (integrating gender equality, disability equity and other cross-cutting issues)
Knowledge and learning support
Public diplomacy support
The CRCSU will support DFAT to recruit embedded staff to work from the DFAT Canberra office (remote working arrangements may be considered), alongside DFAT staff and reporting to DFAT staff on a day-to-day basis.

support DFAT's public diplomacy on Australia's gender-responsive and inclusive climate finance
facilitate DFAT and implementing partner knowledge and learning on gender-responsive and inclusive climate finance
support DFAT climate change programs to engage meaningfully on climate finance with partners and stakeholders and to communicate program impact.
facilitate sharing of best practice and fostering of innovation.
Roles and Responsibilities:

Support the development and update of DFAT's climate finance communications strategy.
Support Posts with development of climate diplomacy products and services to help showcase CRC and Australia's climate work and climate finance.

Generate CRC communications products/materials for DFAT's online presence, including publications and social media accounts.

Other tasks and duties as required to ensure the smooth and effective delivery of the CRCSU.
Contribute to developing harmonious working relationships with DFAT, colleagues and key stakeholders, and assist to build the profile and reputation of CRCSU as a high performing support unit.
