The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is hiring an
outstanding macro-economist to support their programme in East and

is dedicated to helping governments and industry pioneers to explore a
new model of economic growth: green growth. Economics, and in particular
the economics of resource productivity and development, is at the core
of GGGI’s approach. While GGGI adopts a set of multi-disciplinary
methodologies, economic tools are crucial to assess the suitability of
green growth policy and investment in achieving the economic and
development objectives of their partner countries.
Reporting

and assessment in the province of East and Central Kalimantan with the
aim of mainstreaming green growth into the planning processes. Based in
