POSITION SUMMARY
The Sustainable Landscapes and Seascapes (SLS) Economics Fellow will lead the development of a robust approach to assess the systemic economic conditions that under current conditions drive investment decisions at all relevant scales towards unsustainability in CI’s priority landscapes and seascapes. This information will allow SLS sites to determine the best opportunities to pivot financial flows and incentives to drive a transition in the right direction towards the sustainable use of natural resources. This work is expected to reveal, amongst other things, how national economic development policy and landuse/spatial plans along with financial structures and policy (e.g. access to credit, PES funds, carbon taxes, carbon or ecosystem loss offset mechanisms, subsidies, incentives, fines) might inadvertantly promote short term conversion of natural capital, rather than long-term stewardship of these natural life support systems on which all humanity depends. The Fellow will report to CI’s SLS Lead, which sits within the office of the Executive Vice President.
Given the strong links between national policy and economic development, the fellow will work closely with the SLS policy working group led by CI’s Policy Center and the Moore Center for Science’s Ecosystem Values and Accounting program. Additionally, the SLS Economics Fellow will work closely with and inform the work of the Climate Teams/Center for Environmental Leadership and Business’s Climate Positive Jurisdictions Fellow and work led by CI’s Conservation and Finance Division’s Finance Hub and Enterprise Development staff to inform their efforts to develop landscape finance plans and enterprise development in SLS sites. To develop innovative financing mechanisms to fund landscape finance plans the SLS Economics Fellow will work with the SLS Innovative Finance Working Group and to identify ways to channel financing to enterprise, the Fellow will liase with the Conservation Finance Division’s CI-Ventures credit facility. As all SLS sites fall in CI’s Field Divisions, the Fellow will coordinate all field based work with CI’s three Field Divisions, and in areas where work involves indigenous peoples and local communities, the Fellow will work CI’s Center for Communities and Conservation to ensure all work follows CI’s Rights Based Approach and other key tools to ensure appropriate community engagement and outcomes. The Fellow will ensure national economic assessments are coordinated with the Moore Center for Science’s Ecosystem Values and Accounting program.
The SLS Economist’s primary duties will be to: 1) Conduct a desktop review of relevant existing approaches to evaluate economic drivers of unsustainable natural resource use at the country or subnational regions, including approaches used by development banks, UN agencies, research institutes, and related institutions. Special attention should be given to those approaches that aim to promote sustainable development; 2) Undertake a preliminary assessment of all 16 SLS sites to determine which would serve as best candidates for deep dive assessments; 3) Conduct deep dive economic assessments in the number of sites as appropriate and resources permit to generate recommendations for the most promising issues on which CI could focus to drive transformative change at scale; 4) Jointly with CI’s Finance Hub and Enterprise Development Fellow, develop Landscape Finance Plans for at least two sites that include the establishment of new enterprises 5) Drawing on the deep dives, develop a robust general methodology that can be applied to all SLS sites; 6) Teach the application of the methodology to other field teams so they can undertake as much of it as possible on their own; and 7) Participate with multidisciplinary teams that sit with business, governments and impact investors to help generate the policy changes, business decisions and investment commitments required to transition SLS sites to sustainability.
The role is also part of CI’s Technical Fellowship program, which hosts conservation fellows who work to create dynamic and unconventional approaches to address existing barriers to sustainability and contribute to a shift in how nature is valued. These fellowships provide unparalleled opportunities for intensive focus and achievement at the intersection of climate, conservation, business and technology.
The program engages emerging talent to provide fresh thinking and extensive leadership to CI's work around the world. By strategically combining the skills and knowledge of both groups, the fellows are able to expand the breadth of their skills, gain valuable experience in their fields, and find innovative solutions together with CI program staff and local partners. The fellowship is distinguished by four key areas of opportunity: travel, access to resources, professional development and direct participation in CI programs.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the development of a landscape/seascape economic assessment methodology
Develop a detailed conceptual framework for conducting economic opportunity assessments across CI’s diverse portfolio of 16 priority sites.
Coordinate internal consultations with other CI teams and divisions to develop the conceptual framework, with particular focus on driving alignment and synergy with CI’s SLS working groups, other technical Fellows, but especially the Climate Positive Jurisdiction and Enterprise Development Fellows, CFD’s Finance Hub, Moore Center’s EVA (NCA) Team, CI’s Center for Communities and Conservation
Lead external consultations with peer organizations and partners to develop the conceptual framework
Represent and serve as overall point person for all SLS economics and finance focused work as needed
Conduct deep dive economic assessments to build, test and refine the methodology in selected SLS sites and produce recommendations to address systemic weaknesses and take advantage of emerging opportunities
Identify, in collaboration with all relevant CI teams the best locations for economic assessments within the “sustainable landscape and seascape’ portfolio.
With relevant CI teams, carry out the deep dive assessments
Support relevant CI teams in developing landscape finance plans for assessed sites
Support relevant CI teams in developing blended finance approaches that combine public, private and investment funding that underwrite the costs of transitioning a site to sustainability and through developing ‘green’ businesses.
Internal communications and capacity building
Participate in SLS Technical Working Groups and other divisional or regional team meetings (as appropriate) to advance internal awareness and co-creation of the SLS economic assessment methodology and work plan
Provide training and capacity building materials to staff, as needed
Oversee the creation of products/materials such as videos, factsheets, and brochures on the relationship policy, economics, landscape scale business planning and enterprise development relationships and needs to transition SLS sites from their current unsustainable state to sustainability.
WORKING CONDITIONS
The position is based in Arlington, Virginia
Travel time up to 10-15%.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
Graduate degree in environmental economics or public policy or similar

The Fellow will ensure national economic assessments are coordinated with the Moore Center for Science’s Ecosystem Values and Accounting program.
The SLS Economist’s primary duties will be to: 1) Conduct a desktop review of relevant existing approaches to evaluate economic drivers of unsustainable natural resource use at the country or subnational regions, including approaches used by development banks, UN agencies, research institutes, and related institutions. Special attention should be given to those approaches that aim to promote sustainable development; 2) Undertake a preliminary assessment of all 16 SLS sites to determine which would serve as best candidates for deep dive assessments; 3) Conduct deep dive economic assessments in the number of sites as appropriate and resources permit to generate recommendations for the most promising issues on which CI could focus to drive transformative change at scale; 4) Jointly with CI’s Finance Hub and Enterprise Development Fellow, develop Landscape Finance Plans for at least two sites that include the establishment of new enterprises 5) Drawing on the deep dives, develop a robust general methodology that can be applied to all SLS sites; 6) Teach the application of the methodology to other field teams so they can undertake as much of it as possible on their own; and 7) Participate with multidisciplinary teams that sit with business, governments and impact investors to help generate the policy changes, business decisions and investment commitments required to transition SLS sites to sustainability.
The role is also part of CI’s Technical Fellowship program, which hosts conservation fellows who work to create dynamic and unconventional approaches to address existing barriers to sustainability and contribute to a shift in how nature is valued. These fellowships provide unparalleled opportunities for intensive focus and achievement at the intersection of climate, conservation, business and technology.
The program engages emerging talent to provide fresh thinking and extensive leadership to CI's work around the world. By strategically combining the skills and knowledge of both groups, the fellows are able to expand the breadth of their skills, gain valuable experience in their fields, and find innovative solutions together with CI program staff and local partners. The fellowship is distinguished by four key areas of opportunity: travel, access to resources, professional development and direct participation in CI programs.

Job Purpose and Background:
CDSB, a consortium of nine leading environmental and business NGOs, was formed in 2007 at the Davos World Economic Forum in the absence of international accounting standards for climate change. Over the past 12 years, CDSB has cemented its position as a thought leader, aggregator and convenor in sphere of climate and natural capital-related financial disclosures.
CDSB aims to create the enabling conditions for material climate change and environmental information to be integrated into mainstream reporting. Committed to advancing and aligning the global mainstream corporate reporting model to equate natural capital with financial capital, CDSB offers companies a market-tested framework for reporting environmental and climate information. Our framework helps companies provide investors with decision-useful environmental and climate information through the mainstream corporate report, thereby enhancing the allocation of capital to foster climate-resilient capital markets and support the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable economy.
The ambitious and dynamic CDSB Secretariat team is based jointly in London and Berlin, hosted by CDP. We seek an Environmental Specialist (at the Technical Manager level) to play an integral role in the delivery of CDSB’s technical evidence programme. You will develop substantive high-quality and technically robust policy advocacy and practical capacity-building materials on climate change, forests, land-use change, biodiversity and water. These will be produced in the context of key reporting requirements, including the EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive’s (NFRD) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
About the role:
Working closely with and reporting to CDSB’s Technical Director, collaborating with the wider CDSB team and its external Technical Working Group of leading experts on climate and environmental-related financial reporting, the successful candidate will undertake research and analysis, and produce reports.
The Environmental Specialist role is focused on developing technical resources aimed at companies and regulators/policymakers – both of which are needed to drive momentum in corporate reporting of environmental information to influence investor decision-making. Drawing on your solid environmental expertise and understanding of the financial impacts of environmental matters and climate change, you will undertake detailed research and analysis of corporate disclosure practices and policies, as well as regulation, principally across Europe, and globally as appropriate. You will package and present your findings in clear and concise written form as case studies, evaluations, handbooks, technical briefing notes, country-specific and thematic briefings, and consultation responses. You will also lead peer reviews of outputs as required.
The practical resources produced will support European companies (both financial and non-financial) in meeting their environmental and climate-related reporting requirements, and in contributing to businesses’ role in achieving the Paris Agreement outcomes. This will include developing specific technical guidance on climate impacts in the context of water management, land-use change and forestry, and biodiversity, considering associated financial risks and their management. Other research and analysis will relate to corporate governance on climate-related impacts and risks, the outputs of which will be tailored to the board level. You will also contribute substantive content to online and in-person training and webinars (e.g. e-learning on the TCFD Knowledge Hub), drawing on the technical materials produced and your substantive knowledge.
At the same time, you will aid in assembling a robust evidence base for policymakers to strengthen the effectiveness of climate and environmental aspects of EU policies and law on non-financial information. This will include your work as part of a team assembling evidence on European companies’ performance against the EU NFRD to identify opportunities for strengthening the Directive and its associated guidance for non-financial reporting. You will also identify opportunities for better alignment between policies and practice. Your work will also explore the wider implications of climate change and environmental matters in relation to the financial system.
The role requires collaboration with leading national and international policymakers, international businesses, intergovernmental organisations, institutional investors, regulators and stock exchanges, the accountancy industry, professional associations, corporates, and academia. It affords opportunities to engage in a range of national and international initiatives and consider legal and regulatory developments, stock exchange guidance, and efforts to achieve mandatory reporting of climate and natural capital in different jurisdictions.

Excellent analytical and research skills and the ability to broker practical solutions to complex cross-cutting technical challenges;
Proven track record of writing high-quality papers/reports on climate and/or environmental issues;
Strong communications skills in English, including a proven ability to write quickly, succinctly and concisely and to distil complex and lengthy technical information into simple key messages;
Organised approach to plan and deliver on time against a varied workload, with competing priorities using your initiative;
Understanding of and commitment to the missions of CDSB and CDP;and
An enthusiastic and supportive team player, who can work effectively in collaboration with others
Desired:
Work with companies and/or regulators/policymakers on the inclusion of environmental information in mainstream financial reports;
Experience with monitoring and evaluation and climate/environmental-related metrics;
Knowledge of the impacts and interdependencies of biodiversity, climate change and business;
Understanding of environment and climate change from a corporate risk/governance perspective;
Knowledge of current discussions on natural resource accounting and natural capital;
Experience developing capacity-building resources/publications for a professional audience; or
A working understanding of the TCFD, the NFRD and CDSB Framework.
The post-holder must be willing to travel internationally if required and to represent CDSB outside of business hours. The contract of employment will be with CDP which hosts the CDSB Secretariat as well as being one of CDSB’s Board members. Applicants must possess the right to work in the EU. CDP cannot assist with work permits or other immigration requirements.
Salary and benefits:
Competitive NGO salary, flexible working, annual discretionary bonus, 30 days’ holiday, generous non-contributory pension provision, life assurance and other benefits.
Before you apply, we’ll only use the information you provide to process your application. For more details on how we use your information, see our applicants privacy notice.
