The Technical Advisor for REDD+ Readiness is responsible for supporting the institutions' technical work on forest-based climate change mitigation, specifically supporting countries to engage in REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) activities at the national and sub-national levels. He/she is part of the Climate Change Initiatives (CCI) Team which directly supports Conservation International (CI)'s field programs and their partners through the delivery of technical and capacity-building assistance and the synthesis and dissemination of knowledge related to successful forest-based climate change mitigation. This position is located within the Global Change and Ecosystem Services Department in the Science and Knowledge division of CI, which is leading CI’s strategic research and implementation on REDD+ and land-use based climate change mitigation. The Technical Advisor brings a practical and field-oriented perspective to the implementation of the CI Climate Strategy, working with the CCI team to make recommendations which reflect emerging conditions and opportunities in CI's field programs and in the forest carbon arena more generally.
The Technical Advisor, in collaboration with other members of the CCI team, will be responsible for providing technical support, coordinating resources, and facilitating teamwork and collaboration to meet objectives related to REDD+ Readiness. Specifically, the Technical Advisor will support CI field programs and partner governments in the development of the national and sub-national REDD+ readiness strategies, the drafting and implementation of documents such as Readiness Preparation Proposals (R-PPs) and R-Packages, the consolidation of national REDD+ working groups, the design of national and sub-national MRV systems and other elements. The position entails a strong capacity building component, working with other CI and partner technical staff to deliver in-person training and remote technical guidance to developing country governments and NGOs. This training and technical support could include a variety of topics, such as carbon MRV, GHG inventories and IPCC guidelines, forest inventories, and other technical elements. Depending on skills, interests, and opportunities, the Technical Advisor could become involved with other elements of REDD+ strategies.
