WWF������s Carbon Finance Fellow will work with the Chairman and Leader of WWF������s global initiative on Forest Carbon, and other leaders of WWF������s conservation and finance initiatives to develop and implement a coherent strategy for WWF������s approach to carbon finance in the new global climate framework, with a focus on reductions in emissions from deforestation.
