Climate Delivery Manager

The Role:

As a public body determined to play our part in tackling the twin climate and nature crises the
National Park Authority is aiming to be a net zero organisation by 2030 and for the National
Park to be a net zero place in time. Over the next decade we will make a real step change in
how we operate – putting emissions reduction and climate adaptation at the heart of our
decision-making and actions.

The purpose of this key role is to drive the delivery of the National Park Authority becoming a
climate ready organisation. This includes our Mission Zero; the rapid decarbonisation of our
operations to become net zero Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2030, and leading climate adaptation
planning across our estate.

Responsibilities:

• Lead delivery of the organisation’s Mission Zero Route Map by 2030, a multi-year programme
  of decarbonisation across the National Park Authority’s estate and fleet.
• Lead the planning and delivery of agreed climate adaptation measures for our estate
  (comprised of offices, visitor centres, ranger bases, piers, slipways, car parks, public
  greenspaces).
• Develop and deliver a comprehensive, timely and effective monitoring programme for Mission
  Zero, which includes but is not limited to meeting the annual statutory climate change
  reporting duties. Produce regular reports on the progress of decarbonisation and performance
  against the 2030 target date.
• Identify and secure internal and externally sourced resources to help deliver
  decarbonisation and adaptation measures. Manage associated budgets. Lead an effective,
  cross-organisational Mission Zero programme team.
• Procure and manage specialist consultants and contractors to help deliver Mission Zero and
  climate adaptation measures.
• Develop the necessary partnerships and engagement with other public bodies, such as local
  authorities and key private sector partners, to develop and deliver decarbonisation and
  adaptation of National Park Authority sites.
• Work with colleagues to help engage fellow staff, Board members and stakeholders in Mission
  Zero and estate adaptation. Help inform and advise engagement, education and communications
  that share our journey of becoming a climate ready organization.
• Undertake any other duties appropriate to the grade as required.
