Advisor

Director - Green Economy and Impact Innovations & Director - Strategic Communications
Six months (three days a week)
New Delhi, India
India has the largest young population in the world and it needs to create jobs and economic prosperity for the hundreds of millions. Simultaneously, the world is moving towards a low carbon future with increasing climate impacts. India has committed to a net-zero target by 2070. How can we concomitantly generate jobs and prosperity while also going green — the answers may lie in shaping a green economy paradigm.
So far, the green economy discussions with regard to climate action have adopted a narrow view. Green economy is generally associated with renewable energy, electric mobility, and, lately, green hydrogen. While these are important, such a limiting view of green opportunities ignores the job and economic potential that other aspects of the climate action and overall pursuit of a green economy may hold. In this programme, we encompass the following four themes under the broader umbrella of green economy:
The idea is also to diversify climate solutioning beyond a focus on mere energy (efficiency and transition) to also focus on materials (efficiency and transition) to design (efficiency and transition).
We seek a distinguished senior advisor who can help shape the narrative and promise of a green economy across the spectrum of market, society and government. The advisor will work closely with the team on defining a narrative building plan and its key priorities that helps translate the evidence on the scale of a green economy to action. The role will focus on high-level strategy, creating new platforms and partnerships, building deep relationships with crucial influencers, and ecosystem building. Their knowledge and experience on running commissions/alliances/campaigns to influence the influencers would be extremely important.
If you are passionate about solving the people-problem in India’s decarbonization journey, we would like to speak to you. If you can conceptualise and communicate clear research on the issue, then we would definitely consider hiring you! If you have led high impact strategic communications and can collaborate closely with others to make this happen, you are probably the candidate we are looking for.
