Vacancy at Clinton Climate Initiative - Regional Coordinator Waste and Wastewater Management Program
Vacancy at Clinton Climate Initiative - Regional Coordinator Waste and Wastewater Management Program, Jakarta
Regional Coordinator, Waste and Wastewater Management Program
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Background: President Clinton launched the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) in August 2006 to make a difference in the fight against climate change in practical, measurable, and significant ways. CCI chose three strategic areas of focus based on where we believe we can have maximum impact: cities, clean energy, and forestry and development. In each of these areas, we are working with governments and other partners to develop and roll out large scale, replicable projects that directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CCI is also using these projects as models that can accelerate emissions reductions throughout the world. Whenever possible, we aim to prove that action to reduce emissions can also generate financial savings, build markets for new products and services, and create job opportunities.
Across sectors and regions, CCI combats the automatism of “business as usual” thinking. Project by project, we try to lead partners to imagine alternative visions, goals, and outcomes that maximize greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and we demonstrate their feasibility through logic and hard numbers. We work with partners to develop projects with supportable business plans and sustainable financing mechanisms that can serve as scalable models for others to follow. We pride ourselves in our ability to identify barriers to implementation and bring together a unique set of actors to address and remove the barriers.
Within our Cities Program, CCI is primarily focused on five high-impact sectors: buildings, waste management, outdoor lighting, transportation, and integrated urban development. CCI's Waste Management Program supports practical action to reduce and prevent greenhouse gas emissions from municipal solid waste. CCI staff evaluates cities’ waste management systems and makes strategic recommendations for improvements that maximize revenue potential and reduce emissions, working closely with partner cities every step of the way. Once a city approves our recommendations, CCI helps to draft public tender documents that streamline processes and enhance transparency. As needed, we tap our global partner network for technical expertise and to explore financing options and private partnerships.
The Southeast Asia Regional Coordinator for CCI’s Waste Management Program will provide technical assistance to Jakarta to evaluate existing systems and desig new applications for waste management.
