Project Manager PSC
To reduce the global leakage of 8 million tonnes of plastic into our oceans every year, WWF is advocating for new policy standards, new incentives for industry, and new innovative models for avoiding, reusing and managing plastic waste. Plastic Smart Cities (PSC) is a global WWF initiative that works with cities and tourism destinations around the world to keep plastic away from nature. Since 2018, this initiative has supported cities and coastal centers that are taking bold actions to stop plastic pollution in nature. These initiatives enable cities to set concrete commitments and share best practices. WWF is working with 25 pilot cities to achieve a 30% reduction in plastic leakage by 2025, through better waste management and advancing a circular economy. Through the Plastic Smart Cities (PSC) Project which is part of the No Plastic In Nature (NPIN) Initiatives, WWF connects city stakeholders with proven solutions to eliminate plastic pollution by 2030. To support the PSC 2 Project requires Project Manager who will work in Jakarta, under the direct supervision of the Footprint Lead and in collaboration with the WWF-Indonesia PSC 2 Team, in implementing the PSC 2 project.
