Background and Partner Organisation

The Asociación Centroamericana Centro Humboldt (ACCH) is an internationally renowned organization specializing in climate and environmental issues. ACCH advocates for sustainable and just environmental management in the Central American region. Its focus areas range from biodiversity, water resources, and renewable energy to the social management of natural risks. Civil society plays a fundamentally important role in promoting environmental and human rights. Therefore, ACCH's strategy aims to ensure broad active participation, from analyzing national climate contributions (Nationally Determined Contributions, NDCs) to engaging in climate policy advocacy. ACCH increasingly leverages national and international partnerships. For example, it serves as the technical secretariat for the Network of Latin America (CANLA).

The position is located in Guatemala City.
