Chief Operating Officer

Bonsai Leadership Group is excited to support Climate Resilience for All in its search for a Chief Operating Officer.

ABOUT CLIMATE RESILIENCE FOR ALL

Established in 2023, Climate Resilience for All (CRA) is a dynamic and rapidly growing global non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on strengthening and supporting the health and livelihoods of women and vulnerable communities facing extreme heat. Understanding extreme heat and its impacts on women as a significant gap, CRA was co-founded by four women leaders who care deeply about addressing climate change and its impacts on women and vulnerable communities.

CRA has experienced rapid growth, securing critical financial resources and expanding its team within 18 months to expand its programs and impact. Today, CRA operates in Sierra Leone, Pakistan, Nigeria, Thailand, India, Kenya, the U.S., and the U.K., working to build awareness and behavior change, and deliver tangible and durable solutions to address the impacts of extreme heat.

CRA’s mission is centered on solutions for climate-driven extreme heat for vulnerable communities with a priority focus on women in the global South, ensuring that their experience and needs shape the protective interventions and how they are delivered.

CRA’s approach is guided by three key pillars that drive its mission forward:

Act Now & Innovate

Design, deliver, and assess the impact of women-centered heat resilience interventions before, during, and after extreme heat events.

Replicate Success

Catalyze expansion of effective women-centered heat interventions across geographies.

Build the Field

We build the field of extreme heat, growing capacity, and coherence across the many actors and institutions.

With a commitment to equity, CRA is at the forefront of ensuring climate resilience for all, especially those most vulnerable to the dangers of extreme heat. To learn more about CRA’s mission and impact, visit climateresilience.org.
