Coastal Adaptation & Resilience Financing Manager
(Code: CARF-M)
In 2020, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) set an ambitious target for protection and effective management of 32.5 million hectares (10%) of its territorial waters by 2030 (MPA Vision 2030). Earlier this year, Indonesia announced plans to increase its marine protection ambitions to 30% of its waters by 2045, representing a total area of 97.5 million hectares. Indonesia's MPA Vision 2030 recognizes the role of marine and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity in supporting local livelihoods and a robust national economy. Maximizing the potential of nature-based solutions to deliver positive, large-scale climate, marine conservation, and sustainable ocean development outcomes in Indonesia will require strategic and appropriately scaled investments and financing.
Healthy coastal ecosystems provide natural protective services that provide a first line of defense for coastal cities, communities, and infrastructure as well as other valuable ecosystem services. Well maintained coral reefs, for example, can absorb up to 97% of wave energy, and provide ecosystem services such as tourism, and nurseries for fisheries. However, the health of these ecosystems is rapidly declining. Preventing (and reversing) this decline requires several interventions, most notably (a) an economic justification not to cause harm to reefs, with a realization of their (economic) benefits and (b) sustainable finance to pay for coral reef protection, and restoration in the event of hazards (e.g. storm damage).
KI is part of a multi-country consortium led by Landell Mills in implementing an Asian Development Bank-supported technical assistance project on Building Coastal Resilience through Nature-Based and Integrated Solutions – Risk Financing and Insurance Solutions for Coastal Resilience. The project aims to identify, recommend, and demonstrate the applicability of sustainable financing and risk management models and approaches to unlock capital and investments for coral reef ecosystems that are applicable also to other nature-based solutions. It targets high-opportunity sites in four countries, namely Fiji, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Solomon Islands, to increase the climate resilience of coastal areas, businesses, communities, and livelihoods.
KI will hire a manager who will offer expertise in risk financing and insurance solutions for coastal resilience and will be involved in fundraising for ensuring sustainability and long-term impact of the project. S/he will be responsible for day-to-day coordination with other staff in KI and stakeholders (government and non-government partners) to ensure the implementation of the project. S/he will undertake targeted research, assessment, preparation, and knowledge sharing towards delivering technical advice and recommendations for risk transfer mechanisms (including coral reef insurance where applicable) to strengthen coastal resilience in selected high opportunity sites in Indonesia. S/he will handle in-country project coordination tasks in Indonesia and lead the implementation of project activities and work collaboratively with team members with guidance from the Ocean Program Director and Senior Director Sustainable Finance.
