Posted on Tue 28th Mar, 2023 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is an international organisation working with leaders in government, the private sector and civil society to drive further, faster action toward achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), which calls for universal access to sustainable energy by 2030, and the Paris Agreement, which calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate warming to well below 2° Celsius.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Carbon Markets Specialist (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification)

Location: Abuja
Department: Internal Programmes
Team: Finance and Operations
Line Manager: Programme Manager, Carbon Markets
Grade Level: Specialist 2, overall level 5
Contract Type: Limited-Term Full-Time
Date Required: As soon as possible
Duration: One year with possibility to extend

Context of the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI)

  • The Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI) is a continent-wide effort launched at COP27 that aims to build the foundations for a thriving voluntary carbon market (VCM) ecosystem in Africa by 2030. To do so, a number of challenges must be overcome, including: fragmented projects and carbon generating assets, limited and fragmented developers on the ground, and a complex and uncertain regulatory landscape. Meanwhile, intermediation and demand are being held back by concerns about the integrity of some carbon credits and fair distribution of value. To build vibrant and robust voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) in Africa, ACMI includes 4 core objectives:
    • Grow African carbon credits retirements ~19-fold from ~16 MtCO2e retired in 2020 to ~300 MtCO2e per annum by 2030 and up to 1.5-2.5 GtCO2e by 2050.
    • Create or support 30 million jobs by 2030 and more than 100 million jobs by 2050 through carbon projects development, execution, certification, and monitoring.
    • Raise the quality and integrity of African credits to mobilize up to US$6 billion by 2030 and more than US$100 billion per annum by 2050.
    • Ensure equitable and transparent distribution of carbon credit revenue, with a significant portion of revenue going to local communities.
  • To achieve these objectives, ACMI has laid out a roadmap of 13 Action Programmes across the VCM value chain – spanning supply, intermediation and financing, and demand. Action Programmes 4 looks specifically at monitoring, reporting, and verification and validation (MRV) activities; Action Programme 9 deals with advocating on building demand for African carbon credits; Action Programme 10 focuses on piloting new project types and methodologies relevant to decarbonization opportunities; and Action Programme 13 centers on ensuring the integrity of carbon markets in Africa. All fall within the responsibilities of the Project Coordinator - MRV, integrity, equity and advocacy.
  • To overcome the shortcomings linked to limited availability of validation and certification outlets on the continent (mainly linked to insufficient local verification/validation capacity, high cost and long lead times, as well as presence of methodologies not always relevant for Africa), SEforALL, in collaboration with its ACMI partners, is working to build additional capacity and facilitation of monitoring, reporting, validation and verification activities across jurisdictions.
  • To further strengthen demand for high-quality and integrity African carbon credit, SEforALL is leading advocacy campaigns as well as looking at options to open up access to compliance markets (e.g., such as those in the EU, China, California).
  • To better capture specific decarbonization opportunities on the continent, SEforALL is seeking to develop new types of projects across multiple sectors (e.g., renewable energy, waste management, engineered carbon dioxide removals, transport, agriculture and soil sequestration, livestock, blue carbon), along with methodologies that are better adapted to the local context.
