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.
Why we are recruiting
The Forum’s Platform for
Energy, Materials and Infrastructure Platform
(ENMATI) supports business, governments, and society in building resilience to today’s challenges while undertaking the transformations necessary to deliver on the energy, materials and infrastructure needed for the future.
The ENMATI Platform is focused on accelerating the effective transition of the energy, materials and infrastructure sectors that build the foundations of a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive society. It brings together leaders from the electricity, oil and gas, mining and metals, chemicals, infrastructure and engineering industries.
The ENMATI platform, its programs and partner companies are engaged on the net-zero industry transformation via engagement on initiatives such as the
First Mover Coalition
(FMC), the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) and additional geographical and cross-industry initiatives on energy transition, industry decarbonisation technologies, circular economy, digitalisation, public procurement or transition financing.
The Forum’s
Center for Climate and Nature
(CNC) acts as a system leader for the environment and natural resource security, food security, development finance and sustainable development activities at the Forum. It also hosts the Forum’s Climate Action Platform and the Circular Economy for net-zero industry transitions programme, which aims to scale circular economy solutions for the decarbonization of heavy industry.
The
First Mover Coalition
is a global initiative harnessing the purchasing power of private sector to decarbonize eight “hard to abate” industrial sectors that currently account for 30% of global emissions: Aluminium, Aviation, Chemicals, Cement & Concrete, Shipping, Steel, and Trucking; along with innovative Carbon Removal technologies. The companies who make up the Coalition seek to send a powerful market signal to commercialize near zero-carbon technologies.
The Mission Possible Partnership is an alliance of climate leaders focused on supercharging efforts to decarbonize some of the world’s highest emitting industries in the next 10 years. These efforts build on the foundation laid by the original Mission Possible Platform, launched in 2019 by the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) and the World Economic Forum, to expand and accelerate the work of seven industry working groups in aluminium, aviation, cement and concrete, chemicals, shipping, steel and trucking.
The Forum is seeking to hire an Industry Decarbonization Lead for Cement and Concrete to continue building and drive industry and multistakeholder coalitions in the context of the
First Mover Coalition
, the Mission Possible Partnership, as well as other sector or regional initiatives and activities responding broadly to the challenge of reducing GHG emissions in the cement and concrete value chain, extending into impact in the built environment ecosystem.
