Background
Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) works to
improve the most important energy and land use policies around the world, with
a particular focus on finance. CPI supports decision makers through in-depth
analysis on what works and what does not. CPI works in places that provide the
most potential for policy impact, including Brasil, Europe, India, Indonesia,
Kenya and the United States. Our work helps nations grow while addressing
increasingly scarce resources and climate risk. This is a complex challenge in
which policy plays a crucial role. CPI is a small but dynamic
organization, with a global reach and an entrepreneurial culture. We work hard
to maintain an idea-driven, collaborative environment across all our teams.
CPI’s Climate Finance program guides
decision makers who are working to ensure economic growth while addressing
increasingly scarce resources and climate risk. Enough capital exists to
transition the world into a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. However,
current investment in climate-friendly development falls far short of the need.
CPI works to redirect finance from high- to low-carbon activities and helps
decision makers use their resources wisely. We provide much-needed information
on climate finance flows, apply in-depth analysis to guide decision makers on
their efforts, and support innovation in finance to address investors’ needs
and lower costs.
Position Summary
CPI offers a challenging environment that
requires independent thinking, collaboration, and pragmatic problem solving.
The role of Analyst supports the deliverables of CPI’s international Climate
Finance work stream, focusing on issues such as the design of innovative
climate finance instruments that effectively align public and private interests, and the
potential for financial and policy innovations to drive a transition to low
carbon energy.
Under the supervision and guidance of the
Associate Director of CPI’s Indonesia office and a
Senior Analyst, the Analyst undertakes robust and
careful analysis, drawing on methodologies from finance, economics, and public policy (a more
focused skill on micro- and macroeconomics, behavioral
science, risk management, statistics, law, engineering, or other
academic and commercial disciplines are considered an advantage).
In conducting analysis, the Analyst is required
to work in close cooperation with a range of stakeholders (local and international partners, financial institutions, project developers, energy
utilities, government agencies and other private sector actors) as
well as with CPI teams throughout the world. Previous work experience in
