Senior Environmental Economist Jobs at The World Bank in USA, Washington

Job Title: Senior Environmental Economist
Job #130135

Job FamilyEnvironment
Job TypeProfessional & Technical
GradeGG
Location:Washington, DC
Recruitment TypeInternational Hire
Language RequirementEnglish [Essential]

Background / General description:

The Agriculture and Environmental Services (AES) Department was created in the Sustainable Development Network of the World Bank in 2012 following the Rio+20 conference to support a holistic approach to development by addressing complex cross-sectoral challenges faced by client countries and breaking out the traditional silos to help client countries manage entire systems and spaces as one. The department ensures close coordination between agriculture and forestry, fisheries and oceans, natural resource management and agricultural risk management, natural capital accounting, biodiversity, and rural policies. The department includes several practice groups: sustainable landscapes and oceanscapes, agriculture and environment economics and policy, risk management and markets, and the overall departmental cross-cutting team.

The Agriculture and Environmental Services Department of the World Bank is currently seeking a senior environmental economist to join the Policy and Economics team of the department to support the implementation of the Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) program.

WAVES is a 5-year, $15 million partnership to support partner countries to achieve sustainable development by systematically integrating values for natural capital in their national accounts systems, and, through the national accounts, mainstream natural capital valuation in both macro-economic indicators that monitor development progress, and natural resource management. WAVES is being led by the World Bank in partnership with UNEP, UNDP, UN Committee of Experts on Environmental Economic Accounting, interested developing and developed countries, NGOs and other organizations. Partner developing countries include Madagascar, Botswana, Philippines, Costa Rica and Colombia. Partner developed countries (funding their own work) include Australia, Canada, Norway, France, UK, and the Netherlands.

The Partnership has four components: (i) implementation of natural capital accounting in selected countries; (ii) incorporation of natural capital accounts in policy analysis and development planning in partner countries; (iii) development of an international methodology for ecosystem accounting for the UN’s revised Handbook for the System of Environmental and Economic Accounting; and (iv) promotion of the adoption of natural capital accounting beyond the pilot countries. WAVES has established a Policy and Technical Experts Committee (PTEC) to carry out the third component.

WAVES uses the framework of the System of Environmental–Economic Accounting (SEEA). The Central Framework of the SEEA was adopted as an international statistical standard by the United Nations Statistical Commission in February 2012. A second volume of the SEEA, Experimental Ecosystem Accounts, is under development and provides the basis for WAVES’ work on ecosystems. WAVES is also an integral part of the 50/50 Natural Capital Accounting Initiative to bring the public and private sectors together on a global stage to endorse collective action in support of natural capital accounting and to scale up implementation.

Duties and Accountabilities:

The Senior Environmental Economist will be part of the Policy and Economics Team of the Agriculture and Environmental Services Department in Washington, DC. S/he will lead a section of the WAVES program, and coordinate with WAVES work in the country and with other members of the department. The work program of the Senior Environmental Economist will be in the following areas, which should be considered indicative:
1. Leading the technical work on Policy and Technical Experts Committee from the World Bank side on
a. Economic valuation: lead the development and testing out of methodology for ecosystem accounting and valuation with PTEC members and other partners in selected case study sites (to be determined);
b. Policy applications: lead the development of a body of evidence to demonstrate the policy applications of Natural Capital Accounting;
c. Contribute to the dialogue within the World Bank Group on wealth accounting and environmental valuation;
d. Represent WAVES for the World Bank at selected international technical meetings on environmental economics and development, valuation of ecosystem services, biodiversity and related topics;
e. Represent WAVES for the World Bank at technical meetings for environmental accounting under the UN Committee of Experts on Environmental and Economic Accounting where contributions to the SEEA will be made.

2. Provide technical support, training for capacity building, and quality control
