Ecosystem Service Review

Rashawn Stepp — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:36:42 -0400

The World Resources Institute (WRI) seeks a results-oriented college graduate with excellent analytical, writing, and communication skills for a full-time or part-time internship position. The intern will provide research support for WRI’s Ecosystem Service Review Team in their efforts to mainstream ecosystem service-based strategies in the private sector (www.wri.org/ecosystems/esr).

A key conclusion of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) was that the earth’s wetlands, forests, coral reef and other ecosystems have been degraded. And, left unchecked, they will become worse over the next 50 years. Because businesses both depend on and impact “ecosystem services” these areas provide-forests provide timber, freshwater, natural hazard regulation and a host of other services-this degradation has direct relevance to corporate performance. However, most companies fail to make the connection between healthy ecosystems and their bottom lines.

The ESR is a systematic methodology that helps managers develop strategies to manage their risks and opportunities arising their company’s dependencies and impacts on ecosystems. Since its launch is March, 2008, the Review has been used by over 30 Fortune 500-caliber companies. Over the next 18 months, the ESR Intern will assist the ESR Team:

Promote the methodology globally
Conduct Reviews in Central and South America
Conduct Reviews in the utility industry
Conduct Reviews in the agriculture sector
Develop guidelines for integrating the ESR with environmental management systems
Train environmental consultants on the methodology
Develop new improved methodologies, systems, and guidelines
Write papers on the utility and application of the ESR

Equity, Poverty and Environment Associate—Central Africa

Rashawn Stepp — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:29:48 -0400

The World Resources Institute (http://www.wri.org/) is seeking an Associate to guide and implement the Equity, Poverty and Environment (EPE) initiative in Central Africa. Through policy analysis, outreach and capacity-building, EPE aims to reduce poverty and promote sound environmental management by ensuring equitable access to and fair distributions of environment goods and services. EPE is housed in WRI’s Institutions and Governance Program, which works with partners in civil society and government to improve the policies, procedures and performance of institutions with authority over matters that affect local livelihoods and the environment.

Many of the world’s poor are dependent on nature for their livelihoods. Poverty is often a direct result of peoples’ limited access to land and natural resources, few opportunities to generate wealth from local environments, the small share of profits they capture from natural commodities, and limited re-investments of environmental rents by the state. Access and benefit sharing are determined largely by public policies and government practices. EPE works with local policy analysts and public interest organizations to conduct research on, disseminate recommendations for and promote pro-poor distribution policies for environmental goods and service.

EPE’s work in Central Africa supports local development and sound environmental management by promoting policies and practices that increase benefit retention among rural populations from forest-based industries-from local enterprises and large-scale operations. In Cameroon, for example, the 1994 Forestry Code introduced a system that distributes half of the Annual Forestry Fee revenue from logging concessions to decentralized public authorities and villages. The revenues are split between the national government (50 percent), rural councils (40 percent), and the villages adjacent to concessions (10 percent). Further, the Forestry Code provides the rural poor with opportunities to establish community forests for local use and exploitation. Efforts are also underway in Cameroon and the sub-region to increase local retention among the poor from local forest-based industries, such as timber, charcoal, bushmeat and other forest products.

EPE has been active in Central Africa, principally Cameroon, but also in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for several years, collaborating with local researchers to conduct policy research on the policies and practice that affect the allocation of forest-based public revenues, and the distribution of private profits and market shares of local forest products. EPE works with government, especially with policy NGOs, legislators and the parliament, to reform specific distribution policies and laws, and to strengthen implementation and enforcement. The project also invests in capacity-building and strengthening key actors and institutions, including policy analysts, independent public interest organizations, lawmakers, and, in Cameroon, a new caucus of green legislators.

Over the next 2-3 years, EPE-Central Africa will continue working in Cameroon and further develop the initiative in DRC. The project will include a stronger focus on the distribution of market shares and profits from local forest-based industries (to balance EPE work on benefit sharing for forest-based public revenues), and specific attention to indigenous forest people (not just forest-dependent communities, in general). EPE will continue to partner with NGOs and legislators, and expand its work with local authorities, including provincial legislatures in DRC. EPE-Central Africa will also engage more deeply with sub-regional institutions, instruments, initiatives and investments, including COMIFAC, CEFDHAC and its recognized regional networks.

Chief Operating Officer-EMBARQ

Rashawn Stepp — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:12:21 -0400

General context

EMBARQ - The World Resources Institute (WRI) Center for Sustainable Transport - acts as a catalyst for socially, financially, and environmentally sound solutions to the problems of urban mobility. Working with politically and financially empowered authorities at local and global levels, EMBARQ can dramatically reduce the costs, risk, time, and complexity required to diagnose key transport problems, and design and implement sustainable, “best practice” solutions.
Through the formation of public-private partnerships, EMBARQ has turned the attention of the private sector towards the needs of cities, their citizens, and their environment. EMBARQ has also proven that the design and implementation of sustainable urban transport strategies in the developing world can translate into economic opportunities for the forward-thinking business.
EMBARQ has been moving from a start-up to a going concern and has now commenced the process of scale-up to a size commensurate with the mission.

Job Dimensions

The COO is a new position within EMBARQ, created to contribute to the design and direction of the organization’s ambitious and innovative growth strategy. EMBARQ is presently operating in four major markets, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey and India, but is only at scale in Mexico and Brazil while India and Turkey are basically still at start-up. The incumbent’s experience in finance and business development will steer EMBARQ’s portfolio of opportunities - which cities, partners, projects, products, research, or investments we should pursue out of the myriad that are possible, in order to best ensure we meet our mission, at scale, in a financially sustainable way.
The COO reports to the EMBARQ director. He or she will serve as the managing director of EMBARQ, and will be the second in charge, representing, as needed, EMBARQ in WRI management team meetings, quarterly financial review sessions and related interactions with WRI senior management. He or she will participate in EMBARQ advisory board meetings and take the lead on preparing reports for the board.
The senior managers within EMBARQ will report to the COO, including the LA program director, the Asia & Europe program director, and the EMBARQ program manager.
EMBARQ’s annual budget in 2008 is $4 million, growing to $5 million or larger if the scale-up is achieved faster. A key motivation for opening this position is to try to achieve a faster scale-up of EMBARQ and its network.
EMBARQ core is comprised of 13 staff, based in Washington DC, with the exception of 3 who are based in Istanbul and 2 based, in India. The EMBARQ Network also includes two independent Centers for Sustainable Transport, which it established overseas: CTS-Mexico has 7 full-time staff and 11 part-time staff; CTS-Brazil has 7 full-time staff. While the centers are independent NGOs incorporated under their national laws, it is part of EMBARQ’s strategy to keep the centers well integrated with EMBARQ / WRI.

Job Purpose

In partnership with the EMBARQ Director, to design and execute the strategic and tactical (5 year) business plan for EMBARQ, with emphasis on growth, efficiency, portfolio management, innovation and delivery;
To ensure the smooth and efficient operation of EMBARQ and its network, delivering optimum performance from all its resources (coming from WRI, EMBARQ, the Centers and externally) to enable the organisation to deliver its strategic objectives most effectively;
To oversee EMBARQ’s work related to helping cities attract and structure finance for transport corridors and related urban land development.
