vor 2 Wochen

Freiburg, Freiburg, Schweiz World Economic Forum LLC Vollzeit
2-year fixed-term contract with possibility of renewal

The World Economic Forum, committed to improving the state of the world, is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.


The Forum's Centre for Nature and Climate (CNC) is a platform that seeks to safeguard our global commons, and drive systems transformation for a sustainable future.

Within CNC, the work on Nature-Positive Economy encompasses four key areas:

Valuation of Natural Capital, Building a Sustainable Bio-Economy, Industry Sector Transition Pathways to Nature Positive and Ecosystem Restoration and Conservation.

Context for the Role

Over the past years, business interest and action on the topic of nature has been rising steadily.

In December 2022, 196 parties agreed to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) thereby committing to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 and live in harmony with nature by 2050.

There has been strong momentum on voluntary initiatives such as Taskforce for Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN).

What is needed is sector-specific guidance so global goals and targets on nature and biodiversity can be contextualized to the operations of specific industries and companies.

In September 2023, the World Economic Forum launched sector-specific guidance for three sectors, see
