Program Overview
WRI Indonesia’s cities and transport portfolio focus on reducing cities’ GHG emission and leveraging cities and dynamics to do rapid transition towards net-zero through just transition pathways to achieve an inclusive, resilient, and prosperous nation. There are three pillars that we have defined to achieve this cities transition: livable neighborhood, climate resilience, and connective mobility. Under the climate resilience pillar, WRI Indonesia works collaboratively with the government to design ambitious climate action plans that align with national long-term climate goals and development plans through research, policymaking processes, and climate negotiations.
WRI Indonesia is currently working with Bali Government to provide a strong foundational program towards Bali Net Zero Emission 2045 vision. The Bali Transportation Decarbonization initiative arises as the key to achieving the NZE target by developing a comprehensive Transportation Decarbonization Road Map and the establishment of an equitable Low Emission Zone (LEZ). The road map serves as a technical reference for formulating decarbonizing strategies and policies to combat climate issues through carbon emission reductions. Meanwhile, the equitable LEZ strengthens the implementation of decarbonization strategies into action plans that are empirically tested, science-based, and embody local values. LEZ concept also aims to be an enabling ecosystem to demonstrate a low-carbon transportation system and to create socio-economic opportunities.
WRI Indonesia seeks to work with a Climate Modeler to support the Bali Transportation Decarbonization initiative by providing support in climate modeling, research, and analysis, as well as other support for the Bali Net Zero Emission 2045 initiatives.
Job Highlight
The Climate Modeler will lead the technical analysis in conceptualizing the methodology study, establishing a baseline, and developing a climate model and analysis as well as policy scenario, focusing on -but not limited to- specific sectors, including transportation, building and energy transition to support the development of the Bali Transportation Decarbonization Road Map. The Climate Modeler will report to the Urban Mobility Manager while working closely and collaboratively with other relevant team in WRI Indonesia in building a robust and comprehensive climate model.
