Fellow - Green-Gray Infrastructure - (Arlington, VA)

JOB DETAILS: Conservation International is launching an innovative, new, international program focused on developing and implementing hybrid Green-Grey solutions for climate adaptation. This program will be a 1st of its kind, combining a strong conservation focus with engineering ability to provide solutions to some of the world--------s most vulnerable communities. The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme weather has forced population centers across the globe to focus resources on climate adaptation. In addressing numerous impacts of climate change, decision-makers now face a range of alternative planning options from --------hard-------- or --------grey-------- engineering solutions to natural --------green-------- ecosystem-based approaches. These options are often presented as--------exclusive alternatives -------- for example, either a seawall or a wetland can provide protection against flooding from rising sea level.
