National Project Advisor
 
In four Southeast Asian countries the project targets the integration of climate-relevant criteria into the existing eco-labels and their regional harmonization. Furthermore strategies will be identified and implemented to make the application of these eco-labels more attractive and more widely used.
 
The project is based in Thailand but has also representatives in Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia. We are currently looking for the representative in Indonesia. This position will be shared by PAKLIM Work Area 3 (30%) and SCP Regional Project (70%). The project will support the creation of a market for climate-friendly products which will lead to less pollution of the environment. Also it serves the regional integration and cooperation in the context of the ASEAN economic community (AEC). Regional and global trade and investments are promoted through the harmonization of eco-labels. Through the mediation of knowledge, access to training and further education, countries are enabled to generate new jobs and eco-friendly products to increase their competitiveness. The harmonization of eco-labels lowers the transaction costs for producers of internationally traded goods and promotes regional and global trade. Public authorities gain lower life-cycle-costs of purchased services and products.
