Associate, International Policy The Pew Charitable Trusts

The Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent nonprofit, is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today’s most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life. The mission of The Pew Environment Group is to promote policies and practices that protect the global environment, preserve healthy forests and marine ecosystems. For the past two decades, the Environment group has been a major force in driving conservation policy in the United States, and increasingly internationally.

A core goal of the Pew Environment Group Marine Strategy is to establish an international governance system for marine fisheries that are not under the jurisdiction of any one nation and that often move between the territorial waters of various countries on their annual migrations. Over the last five years the Pew Environment Group has launched international campaigns with objectives that require engagement with intergovernmental forums established to globally manage the oceans and their resources ranging from the United Nations General Assembly to the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), among others. All of these campaigns require direct engagement with intergovernmental fora such as the United Nations, Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs), and various international treaty organizations to achieve their goals. They also require advocacy with government decision-makers in influential countries and effective collaboration with non-governmental organizations and scientists worldwide.

The Associate for Europe will assist the Officer, International Policy to develop and execute strategic policy plans designed to successfully influence the EU position at international meetings of strategic importance, in line with objectives identified by relevant campaigns and the International Policy Team.
