CRC Announcement & Position Advertisement
The CRC is proud to announce that its CEO, Professor Ian Noble FTSE, has been selected for a senior position with the World Bank in Washington DC. From June 2002, Ian Noble will assume the role of Chief Technical Adviser to the new "Bio-carbon Fund". The BCF, modelled on the very successful "Prototype Carbon Fund", is designed to benchmark the market for high-quality removal of greenhouse gases in forest and agro-ecosystems. It will seek to create carbon assets that enhance biodiversity protection, help fight against desertification, and support socio-economic development. BCF will also take a long-term view, seeking to understand how a wider range of developing countries might become engaged in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The recent appointment of Prof Noble to the World Bank is clear recognition of the high regard in which he and his scientific expertise are held both nationally and internationally. Ian's appointment strongly augments the CRC's international linkages and his continued involvement with the development of IPCC Good Practice Guidelines in Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry will continue to ensure that CRC research is brought forward in this vital area of carbon accounting. The staff of the CRC warmly wish him all the very best in his new endeavours.
The CRC Governing Board has appointed Deputy-CEO, Dr Chris Mitchell as A/g CEO until such time as a new Chief Executive is appointed by the Board. Chris may be contacted on chris.mitchell@greenhouse.crc.org.au
