Description |
In the post-Paris context, business has a pivotal role to play in achieving the necessary emission reductions to meet the Paris NDCs. A positive feedback loop can be created by demonstrating business’ achievement of its commitments, thus empowering governments to further strengthen their NDCs – only then can we hope to secure a well-below 2C world. But how are businesses performing? Are they achieving their emissions reduction targets, or even on track to do so? What impact do these achievements have in aggregate? How do targets related to water and deforestation support or detriment this? Most importantly… what information do we require to perform these analyses and how can we setup a robust infrastructure to ensure that this vital information is made available to the necessary stakeholders? CDP is seeking a highly motivated individual with experience and interest in science based targets (those determined by the context of climate science in order to limit global warming to below 2°C), (renewable) energy, energy efficiency and GHG emissions target setting and monitoring, other corporate climate commitments and targets (e.g. deforestation, water) and related data modeling and management to join CDP’s Data Team. The position holder will support in the collection, storage and assessment of relevant data necessary for cleaning corporate targets, developing methodologies to track and evaluate company progress against targets, and aid in developing a data infrastructure for the ongoing analysis of corporate commitments to environmental impact reductions.
