The Organisation
The Sunrise Project is a global network of independent organisations that has adopted a unique model of combined strategic grant-making and campaigning, with a common mission to scale social movements to drive the energy transition beyond fossil fuels.

Committed to supporting its team members as it tackles the urgent challenge of climate change, The Sunrise Project believes that a diversity of experiences and perspective strengthens its strategies, teams, and movements.
Fossil gas accounts for around 23% of all fossil fuel emissions globally. The IEA’s Net Zero by 2050 Scenario calls for no new gas fields and a full phase-out of gas in power by 2040, yet governments and industry continue to expand gas-based energy, particularly in Asia. The new Senior Strategist Gas Finance position exists to collaborate across the global Sunrise team and movement allies to develop and implement strategies to shift finance out of LNG and fossil fuel expansion in Asia. This role will identify powerful interventions and support high-impact campaigns that will scale the broader climate justice movement.
