About WRI Indonesia
WRI
Indonesia is national entity (Yayasan) associated with the World
Resources Institute (WRI), a global environmental research organization
that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic
opportunity, and human well-being. WRI work with various stakeholders in
the natural resources sector to support policy and management that are
both profitable and sustainable. WRI work with leaders in more than 50
countries for more than 30 years, with offices in Brazil, China, Europe,
India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United States.
Launched
in early 2014, WRI Indonesia builds on WRI’s 10-year history in the
country, and strengthens our impact on the ground. In the
short-to-medium term, WRI Indonesia aims to expand its presence and
portfolio to include projects in the climate, energy, as well as city
and transportation programs.
Overview
The
Low Carbon Development Initiative is a program of WRI Indonesia that
coordinates global flagship projects of the New Climate Economy (NCE)
and the New Food and Land Use Economy for Indonesia. The Low Carbon
Development Initiative will undertake systematic economy-wide assessment
and provide independent and authoritative evidence on the relationship
between actions that strengthen economic performance and those that
reduce the risk of climate change. In addition to examining economic
sectors such as in forestry and energy, attention will be given to the
overall performance of food and land-uses systems. The program intends
to identify opportunities where policy reforms, investment and business
solutions could yield large multiple benefits for the economy, society
and the environment. The Low Carbon Development Program aims to
contribute to building a low carbon development through new climate
economy and sustainable food and land use economy in Indonesia. It will
develop an investment model to inform Indonesia’s Mid-term National
Development Planning (RPJMN) strategic environmental assessment and to
achieve Indonesia’s global commitment to emissions reduction. The
program will produce background studies for forestry, agriculture, peat,
energy, transport and fisheries that document stakeholder knowledge in
these sectors to inform the country’s development and investment
options.
Moreover,
it will establish science-based targets and pathways at global,
national and sub-national levels for Indonesia agreed upon by
multi-stakeholders in the public and private sectors; provide business
solutions that raise ambition of the private sector; and present these
in action roadmaps with innovations that can mobilize financing and
investments. It will also identify key policies, investments and actions
needed to establish a new food and land use economy, which enhances
agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods, addresses food waste,
improves diets while at the same time protecting forests and
biodiversity and increasing Indonesia's resilience and adaptation to
climate change. In addition to delivering economy-wide analysis at a
national level, the program will be complemented by selected
sub-national deep dives in Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Papua. This will aim
at providing proof points for key sectors in specified jurisdictions
where opportunities and policy reforms are likely to yield the largest
economic, social and environmental impacts and co-benefits.
The
researcher will work on the preparation and production of background
studies and reports. The work will include writing, analysis, and
dissemination of results. The researcher will become part of a large
team at WRI Global and WRI Indonesia involving international and
national experts and partners who will work under different workstreams
associated with new climate economy and new food and land use economy.
WRI
is committed to ensuring gender equity across our program portfolios.
As such, the Economist Analyst is expected to incorporate attention to
gender where appropriate.
