💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve virtual meetings with Asian civil society partners to coordinate campaign activities, drafting diplomatic outreach materials for government officials in specific Asian countries, and planning logistics for an upcoming regional Treaty event. You could also be analyzing Asian media coverage of fossil fuel issues and identifying opportunities to demonstrate growing Treaty support.
