Singapore WWF Full time

Reports to:
Director / Senior Vice President, Asia Sustainable Finance, WWF-Singapore

Location: WWF-Singapore

**I. Mission of the WWF Sustainable Finance Team**

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world’s largest and most experienced conservation
organizations with a global network of 6000 experts working across the areas most critical to global
sustainable development, including food systems, climate and energy, and freshwater, forests and
oceans, active in more than 100 countries.
Our approach is deeply rooted in science and our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s
natural environment and to build a future in which people and nature thrive. WWF has identified the
finance sector as a key driver of global economic activity with which we must engage to successfully
deliver on our long-term conservation mission.
Positioned at the cutting-edge of sustainable finance internationally, our global sustainable finance team
of 80 experts - including 30 in Asia - is dedicated to supporting the finance sector to transition to
sustainable and resilient economy via working key finance sector players including banks, investors,
regulators, and stock exchanges, across six focus areas: standards, regulations, capacity building,
research & tools, green financial solutions and engagement.

**II. Objectives of WWF’s Greening Financial Regulation initiative**

Influencing financial market regulations is one of the most efficient levers to shift financial flows in line
with international agreements such as the Paris Agreement on climate change and with broader
sustainable development goals. In 2021, WWF launched the Greening Financial Regulation initiative
(GFRi), a new network-wide initiative to advocate for a more systematic integration of climate-related
and environmental risks in financial regulation and supervision, as well as in monetary policy.
This is done notably by measuring and tracking progress made by central banks and financial supervisors,
and by providing targeted support and capacity building to these institutions. To do so, WWF leverages
on existing data, tools and methodologies, conducts and publishes relevant research together with
external partners. More information here.

The GFRi is a global initiative, led by WWF-Switzerland with support from regional and technical leads.
WWF is currently looking for a GFRi Asia Pacific Regional & Technical Lead to coordinate its work in the
region, as well as to lead the development and implementation of the Sustainable Financial Regulations
and Central Bank Activities (‘SUSREG’) Tracker. More information here.

**III. Key responsibilities**

- Support and, where necessary, lead the engagement with central banks, financial regulators and supervisors in key countries across Asia-Pacific to achieve the goals of the GFRi, in collaboration with sustainable finance staff in the relevant WWF offices (incl. capacity building, research);

- In coordination with the GFRi Lead, develop presentation and communication materials for internal and external stakeholders in key Asia Pacific countries;

- Lead and/or support the engagement with other stakeholders in APAC, including development agencies, financial institutions, non-governmental organizations, academia or think-tanks, to build partnerships or joint projects as relevant to the GFRi objectives;
