About your role
: India has set for itself ambitious decarbonization targets that can put the country on a low carbon development pathway. While this climate ambition must also ensure that India meets its developmental targets and raises the standard of living of all its people, climate change impacts are already affecting communities and must be addressed. Additionally, while low carbon shifts in our energy systems, industries, and transport can bring in better economic, job and development outcomes at the aggregate levels, if not managed well, they could also disproportionately and negatively impact the livelihoods of the most vulnerable – including informal workers, small businesses, low-income households, and women. This is particularly critical for Indian MSME sector which employs 110 million workers and contributes 30% to India's economy. Almost 99.5 percent of registered MSME units fall under the micro or small enterprise category, while a majority belong the informal economy, making it difficult for them to access formal channels for financial and other support or to connect to the global or national markets. Therefore, MSMEs will need support to adapt to climate change impacts, implement climate actions to remain competitive, and adapt to the industry and policy trends moving India towards clean energy economy through skilling, technology change and access to adequate finance.
Taking cognizance of such potential impacts in planning and implementing low carbon/climate policies and undertaking measures to minimize and manage such impacts is critical to ensure that the India's low carbon transition is also just and equitable. In this regard, WRI India is working actively on building a thriving and resilient MSME sector in India by reducing their vulnerability to climate change, building capacity on undertaking climate action, accessing technology and finance for decarbonization, and preparing MSMEs for the low carbon transition though targeted, sector-specific skilling programs.
The Senior Associate – Gender and Social Inclusion will work closely with project leads and the Director to support the program's vision of enabling a low carbon, resilient, just and equitable development pathway for India. As a gender and social inclusion (GESI) specialist, the candidate will work collaboratively with the team to integrate the issues of gender equality and social inclusion. The candidate will broadly provide technical support to the team to: (a) build capacity within the team to apply GESI tools and approaches with climate lenses, (b) develop integrated activities within the projects support the inclusion of women and marginalized groups, and (c) collaborate with project partners disseminate and communicate effective approaches to jointly achieving GESI objectives and goals.
