NEW Economist – Air Quality Senior level – Senior International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development – ICIMOD Closing 3rd of November Kathmandu

Position Overview:

This position will be housed within Action Area (AA) – Stimulating Action for Clean Air under Strategic Group 1 – Reducing Climate and Environmental Risks. This Action Area focuses its attention on the significant impacts of air pollution on human health, economic development, climate change, and the environment. Air pollution levels are high across the HKH and air pollutants travel without respecting borders. At the same time, there are huge gaps between the actual air quality outcomes being currently achieved in the HKH region and regional and international goals and targets. This is partly due to the lack of cost-effective and implementable solutions, as well due to a lack of understanding on which solutions to prioritise. Improving air quality may impose costs on society due to the implementation of measures, but it brings considerable benefits in terms of avoided costs related to health, ecosystems, and infrastructure. Numerous studies demonstrate that the benefits, particularly in relation to health, far exceed the costs involved.
