Social Projection and Jobs In the past few years, the WBG has stepped up efforts to mainstream climate change, which is a key barrier to the WBG’s mission of ending poverty on a livable planet, into its engagements with client governments and partner organizations. National social protection and labor programs help poor and vulnerable people prepare for and cope with rapid on-set climate shocks and slow onset events, as well as adapt to changing labor markets and prices, including those for food and energy, which can be affected by climate change policies. While there is growing recognition of the role played by social protection in responding to climate change, these programs are rarely featured in national climate change policies, and there is a need to strengthen the evidence based of their impacts, as well as an understanding of how their design and delivery can be modified to enhance their contribution to climate adaptation and mitigation. The SPJ Global Engagement Unit is looking for a dynamic and highly motivated JPA to engage in the growing stream of work on climate change in the SPJ GP, which seeks to enhance the impacts of social protection projects for climate change adaptation and mitigation, while also seeking to better position social protection within national and international climate change policies. To this end, the JPA will support the SPJ Climate Change team through (i) enhanced data and analytics on climate change and social protection; (ii) new tools and methods to support task teams to integrate climate change into their country engagement; (iii) improved support operational teams to optimize the design and delivery of SPJ projects to achieve climate change objectives; (iv) greater knowledge sharing and convening within SPJ, across GPs within the World Bank and with international partners. Duties and Responsibilities It is anticipated that the JPA will support the SPJ Climate Change team, as follows: Selection Criteria o Master’s degree in economics, social sciences, climate change, or a related area.
