Any plausible pathway to the goals of the Paris Agreement includes the preservation of the Earth’s natural carbon sinks.

About Emergent

Forests are crucial to all life on Earth. They capture and store carbon and are one of the most promising, large-scale, and cost-effective opportunities to combat climate change. Rainforests also sustain rainfalls, food supply, vital ecosystems, and livelihoods for over a billion people. Protecting them is not just a moral imperative, it is essential for a stable, prosperous, and sustainable future for us all. As the COVID-19 crisis highlights, we live in a fragile and interconnected world where sustainability cannot be taken for granted.

There is increasing recognition of the urgency of climate change. The Paris Agreement in 2015 committed governments to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. 760 major corporations have committed to climate neutrality, and over 40 countries have implemented some form of carbon pricing scheme. After two decades of putting necessary, effective, high integrity standards and market mechanisms in place, The Emergent Forest Finance Accelerator (“Emergent”) has the historic opportunity to channel this momentum to solving the deforestation crisis.

Emergent helps safeguard the world’s tropical forests by building a global market for forest carbon credits. Countries generate these credits by reducing deforestation and tropical deforestation (called “REDD+”). For forest countries, Emergent provides a guaranteed source of demand by facilitating access to a range of high-volume buyers, backed by a purchase guarantee from donors, giving countries the certainty need-ed to make investments in forest protection and chart a new course. For buyers, Emergent provides access to the highest-quality REDD+ credits, enabling them to meet their climate neutrality goals. Emergent is supported by the government of Norway, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation.  Emergent is currently grant-funded, but will become self-sufficient through transaction fees as volumes build.

In the case of corporate purchases of credits, Emergent contracts via a standard ERPA with corporate buyers on a forward, unit-contingent basis. Credits purchased from jurisdictions (also via ERPA) are sold to buyers, with the resulting revenues transferred, minus a small transaction fee, to jurisdictions via UN/World Bank-accredited ‘financial intermediaries’ (FIs).  FIs will be contracted by Emergent to provide these transfer services, and to work with jurisdictions to report on the use of the funds for pre-agreed purposes. 

In the case of price guarantee purchases, Emergent transfers funding from OECD governments to jurisdictions in return for credits which are then retired. (As well as providing a demand signal to jurisdictions, these transactions are effectively government-to-government ‘results-based payments’ for progress in reducing deforestation.) Before use, these funds may be held by Emergent or potentially in a trust fund arrangement administered by a multilateral such as the UN.

Position Overview

The Senior Business Development Manager (BDM) will prospect for and convert new corporate clients of emissions reduction credits (ERs) by utilizing a variety of networking and outreach strategies. The BDM will be accountable for securing a quota of long-term ER contracts commensurate with Emergent’s goal to stop tropical deforestation.

Emergent has a rich pipeline spanning hundreds of companies – the BDM will be a key part of turning those leads into deals. They will use persuasive approaches and pitches to convince potential clients to purchase ERs through Emergent, developing rapport with new clients, setting and obtain sales targets, and providing ongoing support to continually improve customer relationships. The BDM will also grow and retain existing commercial accounts by ensuring that client stakeholders are positioned for success in terms of meeting climate targets and stakeholder requirements.  In addition to prospecting and converting companies, they will support Emergent's marketing strategy, helping differentiate Emergent from competitors and accelerating decision-making and favorable commercial outcomes within its corporate prospect base.

The Senior Business Development Manager will form the core of Emergent’s sales operation in Europe and Asia and will play a key role is helping to end tropical deforestation. The ideal candidate will have experience in carbon markets, meeting corporate climate commitments in the voluntary or compliance (e.g. EU ETS) markets.

About Emergent

Forests are crucial to all life on Earth. They capture and store carbon and are one of the most promising, large-scale, and cost-effective opportunities to combat climate change. Rainforests also sustain rainfalls, food supply, vital ecosystems, and livelihoods for over a billion people. Protecting them is not just a moral imperative, it is essential for a stable, prosperous, and sustainable future for us all. As the COVID-19 crisis highlights, we live in a fragile and interconnected world where sustainability cannot be taken for granted.

There is increasing recognition of the urgency of climate change. The Paris Agreement in 2015 committed governments to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. 760 major corporations have committed to climate neutrality, and over 40 countries have implemented some form of carbon pricing scheme. After two decades of putting necessary, effective, high integrity standards and market mechanisms in place, The Emergent Forest Finance Accelerator (“Emergent”) has the historic opportunity to channel this momentum to solving the deforestation crisis.

Emergent helps safeguard the world’s tropical forests by building a global market for forest carbon credits. Countries generate these credits by reducing deforestation and tropical deforestation (called “REDD+”). For forest countries, Emergent provides a guaranteed source of demand by facilitating access to a range of high-volume buyers, backed by a purchase guarantee from donors, giving countries the certainty need-ed to make investments in forest protection and chart a new course. For buyers, Emergent provides access to the highest-quality REDD+ credits, enabling them to meet their climate neutrality goals.

THE CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION

Established in 1967, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest regional nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to saving the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers and streams, and the wildlife that call it home through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration. Since 2010, CBF has engaged in a focused effort to defend and implement the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint, a binding federal and state collaborative agreement aimed at reducing pollution to the science-based, legally-affirmed levels established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Blueprint is expected to be fully implemented by 2025. If the states and the federal government achieve Blueprint goals, the Bay will finally—after decades of failed efforts—be removed from the Clean Water Act’s impaired waters list. Successfully implementing the Blueprint depends on a well-informed, engaged, active, and diverse constituency of members, advocates, and volunteers who speak up and take action to save the Bay.

• CBF has a staff of approximately 210 employees working in offices in Annapolis, Maryland; Richmond and Virginia Beach, Virginia; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Washington, D.C. as well as 15 field education program locations. Our staff and volunteer corps work throughout the region educating students and adults, advocating for clean water policies, restoring waterways, and litigating when necessary.
• CBF's headquarters office in Annapolis, Maryland is the Philip Merrill Environmental Center, the world’s first U.S. Green Build Council’s LEED platinum building. In 2014, CBF opened the Brock Environmental Center—one of the world’s most energy efficient, environmentally smart buildings—in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The Society for Wilderness Stewardship (SWS) is a non-profit organization seeking to promote excellence in the professional practice of wilderness stewardship, science, and education to ensure the life-sustaining benefits of wilderness. In other words, we are a professional society working to set the standard for wilderness management. 

The Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute (Leopold) is dedicated to the development and dissemination of knowledge needed to improve the management of wilderness, parks, and similarly protected areas. The Leopold Institute was established in 1993 under the Rocky Mountain Research Station and has been the wilderness research arm of federal agencies ever since. The Institute operates under an interagency agreement among the federal agencies that have wilderness management or research responsibility – the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) was founded by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, and today oversees 445 wilderness areas or 33% of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Inaugural Chief of the USFS, Gifford Pinchot, stated that the USFS existed to “provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run.”

Program Overview

The Wilderness Fellows Program is a collaborative of the three organizations above, and was created in order to complete Wilderness Character Baseline Assessments, thereby continuing important assessment work that has been underway since 2001, and fulfilling the USFS Wilderness Stewardship Performance (WSP) element “Wilderness Character Baseline”. The Wilderness Character Baseline requires that steps be made to determine a baseline and provide the foundation for evaluating trends in wilderness character. These trends indicate the outcome of management actions and success at preserving wilderness character as directed by the Wilderness Act.

As stated in Keeping It Wild 2: An Updated Interagency Strategy to Monitor Trends in Wilderness Character Across the National Wilderness Preservation System (Landres et. al, 2015), “the results of wilderness character monitoring provide [agency staff who manage wilderness day-to-day, and regional and national staff who develop wilderness policy and assess its effectiveness] some of the key data they need to improve wilderness stewardship and wilderness policy.” The report goes on to say that, “Implementing this monitoring strategy does not guarantee the preservation of wilderness character, but it informs and improves wilderness stewardship, and ensures managers are accountable to the central mandate of the 1964 Wilderness act – to preserve wilderness character.”

In 2001, the USFS Wilderness Monitoring Committee developed the first national framework for Wilderness Character Monitoring (WCM). Progression was attained by the USFS in 2006 with WCM pilot testing occurring in every USFS region and the publication of the Applying the Concept of Wilderness Character to National Forest Planning, Monitoring, and Management in 2008.

After years of testing different monitoring protocols, the USFS and Aldo Leopold Research Institute published the Wilderness Character Monitoring Technical Guide in May of 2019. This document provides a national framework and detailed protocols to monitor trends in wilderness character in the Forest Service. Wilderness Fellows will apply the tools in the Technical Guide to complete wilderness character baseline assessments. 

Position Overview:

Fellows are based in locations around the country, with a significant amount of travel within their base region.

Write code. Save the planet.

MakeSoil is an online platform that matches ‘Soil Makers’ (people who compost) with nearby ‘Soil Supporters’ (people who contribute scraps). The platform also gives local citizens and municipalities all the tools they need to rapidly create their own decentralized network of citizen-run neighborhood composting hubs in their community - keeping organic waste out of the landfill, bringing down greenhouse gas emissions, saving taxpayers' money and, of course, making soil!

Overview

MakeSoil is looking for talented developers to join our team. It's a rare opportunity to write code that improves the physical and mental wellbeing of millions of people all over the world, while actually helping to repair the environment.

Location: this is a remote position, and you can work from anywhere.

There are several ways you can participate:

Volunteer - Contributing even a few hours per week of planet-saving code is very satisfying! We'll try not to give you more than you can handle or more than you'll enjoy. And as a global initiative it's great for us to have helpers in different time zones who might be able to lend a hand at different hours.

Note: this role is paid in good karma, potential friendships, satisfying feelings of purpose, and knowing that you're making a difference.

Short/Medium-term Contractor (paid) - Jump in with us for a two or three month tour. This gives us a chance to get to know each other without the pressure of a long-term commitment. This option can lead to more while still leaving room in case you're planning on taking off to sail around the world or otherwise reinvent yourself.

Long-term (paid) - Join us full-time, hopefully for a long time. Waking up each day to make technology that has this big of an impact on people and the planet is a great way to live. With over 90% of organic matter still going to landfills worldwide, and most of humanity still unaware that we can make soil instead of garbage — we're not going away anytime soon and would love to have you along for our historic journey.

Qualifications

Candidates for any of the above will need to be familiar with our tech stack:

• Front-end: React (CRA - Typescript), GraphQL
• Back-end: Express, TypeGraphQL, TypeORM
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Hosting: Heroku
• Integrations: Google Maps, Google APIs, AWS SNS, FileStack

And experience building mobile apps with React Native is desirable.

You will also be required to participate personally, as either a Soil Supporter or Soil Maker, at a Soil Site on the MakeSoil platform. This is a team-wide requirement, because using the platform yourself puts you in the best possible position to improve it for others.

To Apply

• If interested, please click "Apply" below to email your CV and portfolio of previous projects.
• And let us know how you envisage participating e.g. as a volunteer, short/medium-term contractor, or long-term team member.
• Again, this is a remote position, and you can work from anywhere.
