(Expiry date:
2024-12-17 ) The World Bank Group is a unique global partnership: five institutions working for sustainable solutions that reduce poverty and build shared prosperity in developing countries. The Senior Economist for Climate Change Measurement will be responsible for leading the design, development, and application of methodologies to measure the impact of WBG's climate-related interventions, focusing on both adaptation and mitigation outcomes. The economist will contribute to enhancing the WBG's capacity to assess, report, and track progress on the climate-related impacts of operations, policies, and strategies. Key Responsibilities: Lead the design and development of methodologies for measuring the impacts of WBG climate change related operations, including both adaptation and mitigation interventions. Develop new approaches for assessing the cost-effectiveness of climate adaptation and mitigation actions, ensuring that they are robust, evidence-based, and practical for WBG operations. Conduct econometric analyses, cost-benefit assessments, and other economic evaluations of climate change projects, incorporating climate resilience and carbon neutrality goals. Contribute to the development of tools, frameworks, and guidelines for internal use to measure the effectiveness of climate adaptation and mitigation investments. Ensure that methodologies for evaluating climate projects integrate diverse sources of data (e.g., climate models, project monitoring data, satellite imagery, etc.) and methodologies (e.g., experimental, quasi-experimental, econometric modeling). Synthesize findings of impact evaluations and other assessments into actionable insights for both World Bank and client countries. Collect, process, and analyze data on climate impacts, including those related to climate vulnerability, resilience, emissions reductions, and economic outcomes. Prepare high-quality reports and presentations on impact results and lessons learned from climate-related programs and projects to inform internal and external stakeholders. Provide advisory support to WBG task teams, governments, and client countries on how to monitor and evaluate climate change-related policies and programs. Engage with senior policymakers to support evidence-based decision-making on climate. Contribute to the development of knowledge products and learning materials on climate change impact evaluation and the economics of climate adaptation and mitigation. Organize and lead knowledge-sharing workshops, seminars, and conferences on climate change economics, impact measurement, and related topics. Foster collaboration and learning between internal WBG teams, governments, and external stakeholders (e.g., academics, development partners, and other multilateral organizations). Work closely with WBG colleagues across sectors (e.g., energy, transport, agriculture, and urban development) to ensure the integration of climate impact measurement across different thematic areas. Engage with external partners, including other international financial institutions, donor agencies, climate research organizations, and NGOs, to align WBG approaches with global best practices in climate change evaluation and measurement. Represent the World Bank Group in international and regional forums and provide technical support as needed. Selection Criteria PhD or equivalent advanced degree in economics, environmental economics, climate science, or a related field with a focus on climate change. Experience: At least 8 years of relevant professional experience in the areas of climate change impact evaluation, climate economics, or environmental economics, including practical experience in conducting economic analysis and impact evaluations of climate change-related interventions. Strong expertise in econometric methods, cost-benefit analysis, and other quantitative evaluation techniques. Proven experience in evaluating large-scale climate adaptation and/or mitigation projects, including both public and private sector interventions. Experience with international climate finance mechanisms (e.g., Green Climate Fund, Global Environment Facility) and familiarity with climate-related reporting frameworks (e.g., the Paris Agreement). Expertise in climate change modeling tools, data analytics, and remote sensing techniques to track climate impacts. Familiarity with the use of climate resilience indices, carbon footprint analysis, and other relevant metrics. Proficiency in English is required; knowledge of additional languages (particularly French, Spanish, or Arabic) is an advantage. The World Bank Group offers comprehensive benefits, including a retirement plan; medical, life and disability insurance; and paid leave, including parental leave, as well as reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. We are proud to be an equal opportunity and inclusive employer with a dedicated and committed workforce, and do not discriminate based on gender, gender identity, religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.
