This is a fixed-term role _renewable_ until _

The World Economic Forum, committed to improving the state of the world, is the international organization for public-private cooperation.

The Forum engages the foremost political, business, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

Why we are recruiting

The World Economic Forum's Centre for Nature and Climate (CNC) is working on the agenda to develop thought and action leadership in philanthropy, with the aim to catalyse impact at speed and scale through multi-stakeholder collaboration to achieve critical goals across the climate and nature agenda.

The global initiative

Giving to Amplify Earth Action_

- (GAEA) aims _to build successful philanthropic-public-private collaborations across climate and nature, through three levers of activity:

Thought leadership: sharing and exchanging knowledge and insights on pertinent issues on the nature and climate agenda.
New partnerships through communities of purpose and action: bringing together stakeholders and champions of the nature and climate agenda.
Programmes to accelerate regional nature and climate action: supporting curation and community building.

A strategic partnership has been established between CNC and the

Institute of Sustainability and Technology (IST)

, to scale and accelerate innovations for climate and nature in Asia. This partnership will seek to (1) build insights, intelligence and highlight gaps and opportunities; (2) design communities of impact to foster dialogues, learnings and incubate partnerships to elevate Asian solutions in tackling global challenges; and (3) culminate in a global annual summit which highlights the achievements, innovations in climate and nature, and demonstrate Asian leadership globally.

These activities will culminate in a global summit with a focus on nature and climate, technology and innovation to be held in Hong Kong once a year; and an impact investing alliance that provides a collaborative platform that unites corporations, philanthropists, governments, and academic institutions to accelerate sustainable impact across Asia.
