Organization description
Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC) is an independent policy research and advocacy group that aims to make emissions trajectories across Asia compatible with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C warming target. SFOC is led by legal, economic, financial, and environmental experts with experience in energy and climate policy.
Job description
Since its founding in 2016, SFOC has led strategic campaigns on coal power phase-out, renewables, and climate finance. More recently, we have expanded our work beyond the power sector, establishing oil and gas, legal, steel, and land-use programs, with plans to cover maritime transportation and methane emissions. SFOC’s effectiveness comes from its extensive digital and media communication, legal strategy, political network, and leadership among grassroots campaigns.
SFOC has initiated its bioenergy program in 2019, currently with two associate-level staffers, and has made important breakthroughs in mitigating biomass and biofuel-based power generation in Korea. The program has expanded to addressing deforestation activities by Korean companies in Southeast Asia and monitoring wood-based product supply chains.
Functioning at the climate-forest nexus, SFOC’s Bioenergy and Land Use program aims to phase down unsustainable bioenergy and decouple its feedstocks from deforestation. The program is situated within SFOC’s Power Division, and the Bioenergy & Land Use Program Lead will report to the Head of that Division who also oversees SFOC’s work on power markets, electricity grids, gas power and renewable permitting. As the program expands, it may evolve into a larger Land Use division within SFOC.
SFOC is seeking an experienced leader who can supervise its existing bioenergy & land use program. The ideal candidate has at least five years’ experience in the climate field, is an excellent strategist, has experience leading a team of talented people, and passion to address climate change. The Bioenergy & Land Use Program Lead would be responsible for the following:
