The Climate Team within the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Nature and Climate (CNC) is recruiting a Finance Lead for the First Movers Coalition Finance Pillar to support programme community coordination, operations management and event delivery.

To decarbonize at the speed needed to keep the planet on a 1.5-degree pathway, the “hard to abate” sectors require nascent clean technologies that are not yet competitive with current carbon-intensive solutions. The First Movers Coalition, through the purchasing commitments of its members, seeks to accelerate these clean technologies to commercial scale by 2030.
