The application process involves submitting an application form, often through the CTCN or UNFCCC official platform or via designated national focal points. Supporting documents such as a CV, motivation letter, and letters of recommendation are also required. Candidates may be shortlisted based on qualifications and alignment with the CTCN’s strategic priorities.
Selected secondees will work temporarily at the CTCN host institution or a partner organisation to gain experience and contribute their expertise.
