Forestry and Carbon Market Expert

Position Summary:
The Forestry and Carbon Market Expert will work closely with the Team Leader to measure and document the achievements and areas of underperformance to improve implementation for the balance of the program.  Overall, the Evaluation Team will also examine the model introduced through this project to cull any lessons learned to share with the broader development and business communities.

• Minimum three years of experience in work related to carbon markets;
• Minimum two years of experience in conducting evaluations;
