Consultant as Communications Officer for Bali Transport Decarbonization, Cities Program
This is a hybrid position which requires 8 days per month in the office. You can be based in our office in WRI Indonesia, Bali. Existing work authorization is required at the time of application submission as WRI is unable to sponsor any visa work sponsorship for this position.
Program Overview
Bali Transportation Decarbonization Program
The Bali Net Zero Emission 2045 initiative believes that fostering the agency and leadership of local government and broader segments of the society is key to ensure that the net zero emission agenda remain strong and becomes a way of life and pathway for development, regardless of national and local political transitions. It will require concerted efforts amongst various actors to create breakthroughs with long-lasting climate, social, and economic impacts. Our main targets in this project consist of local government, especially in the field of energy and transportation, electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy business owners, coastal communities, and sustainable tourism communities. While most of them have already had a common understanding towards the urgency of climate transition, they need to be equipped with more information, knowledge, and thought-leadership avenues to build ideas and make actions.
In this phase, WRI Indonesia, together with Bali Transport Agency and key stakeholders in Bali is developing an enabling ecosystem to achieve Bali’s sustainable transport goals with a program called “Peta Jalan Dekarbonisasi Transportasi Bali” and “Bali Low Emission Zone Initiative (BLEZI)”. With a zone-based approach, BLEZI acts as demonstration and intensification areas to promote zero emission mobility by emphasizing two core approaches: Improving Sustainable Urban Mobility and Acceleration Zero Emission Vehicle Adoption. This initiative will be also equipped with a strong vision setting which will be provided on the Bali Transport Decarbonization Roadmap. Having this strategic multi-dimensional program in Bali, WRI Indonesia seeks to work with a project leader to conceptualize, manage, implement and monitor the Bali Transport Decarbonization Roadmap. To support the decarbonization of transportation in Bali, the Bali Climate Finance Platform was launched as a mechanism to facilitate climate financing through technical assistance, advisory support, matchmaking, guarantees, and project pipeline development within an electrification-based ecosystem.
