Background The Global Green Growth
Institute (GGGI) seeks to hire a Junior Environmental Economist to support
their collaborative green growth program with the Government of Indonesia (GoI)
in East Kalimantan (EK). 

GGGI is an international
organization founded in June 2010 (www.gggi.org). GGGI is dedicated to pioneering and
diffusing a new model of economic growth, known as “green growth”. This
simultaneously targets key aspects of economic performance, such as poverty
reduction, job creation, social inclusion and those of environmental
sustainability, such as mitigation of climate change and security of access to
clean water. GGGI’s approach is particularly suited to developing countries
because it starts from broad-based progress in living standards and growth.

Indonesia in the GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program (GGP). The Jakarta office is offering
a consultant position within a varied and dynamic team, who will play an
