🇸🇱 Job Vacancy @ C40 Cities – City Adviser, Waste and Methane

Consultant – City Adviser, Waste and Methane

Background

C40 is a network of nearly 100 mayors of the world’s leading cities, who are working to deliver the urgent action needed right now to confront the climate crisis, and create a future where everyone, everywhere can thrive. Mayors of C40 cities are committed to using a science-based and people-focused approach to help the world limit global heating to 1.5°C and build healthy, equitable and resilient communities. Through a Global Green New Deal, mayors are working alongside a broad coalition of representatives from labour, business, the youth climate movement and civil society to go further and faster than ever before.

C40’s team of 400+ staff is based in offices in London, in New York, Johannesburg, Singapore, Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, Copenhagen, Beijing and Paris, and individual staff based across 25+ different locations.

The strategic direction of the organisation is determined by an elected Steering Committee of C40 mayors, which is chaired by Mayor Sadiq Khan of London and Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr of Freetown. Three-term Mayor of New York City Michael R. Bloomberg serves as President of the C40 Board of Directors, responsible for operational oversight. A regionally diverse management team, led by Executive Director Mark Watts, leads the day-to-day management of C40. C40’s three core strategic funders are Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and Realdania.

Our international staff work with the C40 network under the leadership of city governments to deliver this mission. Using a data-driven approach, our team identifies and promotes the exchange of proven programmes and policies developed by cities; provides world-class research, technical expertise and access to key partners to deliver new programmes and policies with cities; and communicates cities’ individual achievements and collective leadership.

Diversity Statement

C40 is committed to supporting and promoting equity and diversity and creating an inclusive working environment for everyone. We believe that when people with different life experiences are involved in decision-making, we deliver better.

We believe having a diverse workforce ensures we connect better with all the different communities and people affected by the climate crisis. This enables us to make better decisions which lead to better outcomes in the work we do through increased creativity, productivity, greater global impact alongside a broader perspective and approach to our work.

We welcome applicants that are diverse in terms of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity and perspective. Our goal is for C40 to be an environment where everyone, from any background, can flourish and can be themselves whilst contributing to our mission. If you identify as a person with a disability, we work to provide reasonable appropriate measures and any additional support needed to provide an equitable working experience. If you are living with a disability, chronic illness or neurodiversity please inform us, to provide you with the proper assistance in the application process.

C40 promotes a work culture where staff can input to improve equity, diversity and inclusion through staff-led groups and formal forums. We know that creating our ideal working environment is a learning process and we are committed to the ongoing effort.

Regional Approach

Core to C40’s value and effectiveness is an ability to be responsive to the needs of all C40 cities and focus services and support on the areas of greatest opportunity for city action and climate impact – both at the individual city level and across our regional and global networks. Our regional management structure further enables C40 to leverage relationships between peer cities and technical and financial partners regionally and globally and to be more responsive to local needs and conditions.

To manage these efforts, C40 Regional Teams are positioned in seven regions: Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Southeast Asia and Oceania, East Asia and South & West Asia.

In Africa in particular, the Regional Director of Africa is based in Tshwane and acts as the ambassador for the region, to ensure that the organisation can deliver effectively at a regional level considering specific geographic, cultural, language and other differences. A Deputy Regional Director for Africa, supports the Regional Director with managing the city engagement and relationship building in the region, and she is based in Addis Ababa. The Head of Implementation for Africa is then based in Cape Town, South Africa and she manages and oversees all technical work in the region. Although the City Adviser, Waste and Methane-Freetown will report directly to the Head of Coordination and sit within the Freetown Co-Chair Office they will also be embedded within this regional team and report to the Head of Implementation for Africa for tasks and activities.

The Project

Currently, organic waste (food waste and other biodegradable waste) comprises between 50 and 60% of the total municipal solid waste generated in African cities, and this organic waste is responsible for up to 40% of city greenhouse gas emissions, primarily as methane emitted from landfills and dumpsites. In terms of city powers and transformational potential, action to reduce organic waste disposal represents an immense opportunity to reduce methane emissions and deliver significant local benefits on public health and sanitation, job creation, etc. According to the latest IPCC Report, addressing methane emissions is the single fastest and most effective way to address current global warming, and African cities have a unique opportunity to contribute to this global mission by implementing sustainable waste management systems and improving the way organics are managed.

With this project “Transforming waste management in African cities to reduce and avoid methane emission from municipal solid waste”, C40 will empower cities to have a better understanding of their waste management systems to take ambitious steps to reduce current and future methane emissions. C40 will work with city leaders to deliver the most impactful waste management priorities captured in their respective and relevant plans, while also building technical, institutional and operational capacity in the supported cities. With this project C40 will begin working to dramatically reduce current and future emissions by strategically engaging political leadership in the selected cities.

The project will provide participating cities with the preliminary tools needed to establish sustainable waste management systems and the foundational requirements to put them on a pathway towards a future without waste. Cities will be supported to focus on closing collection gaps, improving residual waste disposal solutions, phasing out organics from disposal and on creating and upskilling jobs. The project will accelerate action by engaging mayoral commitment and fostering regional leadership, and by changing local perceptions of waste management across the region. This project will bring a methane reduction and avoidance focus to C40’s waste activities in Africa, and with locally based staff will be supported by C40’s Global and Regional Waste Technical Advisors, and city activity will be supported by and feed into the best practices of cities across C40’s global membership.

Scope

The City Adviser, Waste and Methane will primarily support the city of Freetown to identify and implement key waste-related actions to reduce current and future emissions from the solid waste sector and will also work on scaling up the solid waste management engagement in Freetown and in Sierra Leone in general including subnational and national government and other identified stakeholders.

The City Adviser, Waste and Methane will deliver this by strategically engaging existing strategic plans and political leadership, build and engage with new relevant political leadership at the city, subnational and national level , while also building technical, institutional and operational capacity in the supported city or the state for the transition to zero waste pathways.
