GIZ is hiring a junior advisor for their Article 6 carbon markets project in South Africa. Deadline is July 3 2026. Good entry point if you are trying to break into carbon policy work in Africa.

Article 6 projects are still pretty new on the ground. This role would give someone early exposure to how carbon credits actually get structured under Paris rules. Worth applying if you have any policy background.

The job is with the climate cluster in Pretoria. If you are already based in SA or willing to relocate, this is one of the few openings that deals directly with carbon market design rather than just offset marketing.

Junior advisor at GIZ usually means 2 to 3 years of experience required. Not quite entry level but close. The project focus on Southern Africa regional cooperation is interesting. Wonder what the pipeline looks like so far.

GIZ usually posts the full ToR on their career site. The article says to check the official page. Would be good to see if they require specific knowledge of Article 6 accounting rules or if they train you on that.
