Earth Island is seeking an Asia Campaigner: USD $3,500–$4,000 Monthly Salary Available

Asia Campaigner

Organization: Earth Island – Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative
Closing Date: 16 January 2026

Position Overview

Earth Island is seeking an Asia Campaigner to support and scale the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative across the Asian region. This role sits within a bold global campaign advocating for a new international mechanism to complement the Paris Agreement—one that directly addresses fossil fuel expansion and supports a just and equitable transition away from coal, oil, and gas.

The position is full-time, consultancy-based, running from January to June 2026, with the possibility of extension. The role is remote, based in Asia, with a preference for candidates located in Southeast Asia, and includes some regional and international travel for meetings and events.

About the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative

The world’s largest fossil fuel producers are on track to extract more than twice the amount of fossil fuels that can safely be burned if global climate targets are to be met. The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative responds to this urgent challenge by advocating for a global framework that:

• Ends the expansion of fossil fuel production
• Manages a fair and equitable phase-out of existing production
• Ensures a just transition that prioritizes people, communities, and frontline regions

The Initiative works with governments, cities, civil society, Indigenous communities, youth movements, and high-profile champions to build diplomatic and public support for this new global agreement.

Role Purpose

Reporting to the Strategic Advisor and Head of Asia Campaigns & Advocacy, the Asia Campaigner will play a central role in growing political, civil society, and public support for the Fossil Fuel Treaty across Asia.

The role combines diplomatic engagement, campaign strategy, network building, communications support, and project coordination. The Asia Campaigner will join the International Support Team and work closely with Campaigns and Communications colleagues to ensure sustained momentum and regional leadership for the Treaty.

This position is ideal for an experienced campaigner seeking to contribute to a high-impact, internationally coordinated climate justice effort.
