The Environmental Portfolio at the Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with nearly 250 professionals working full-time at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economy to advocate for sound solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
Global Campaign to End Illegal Fishing
At least one fifth of all fish taken from the sea are caught illegally or beyond the reach of regulators. This significantly threatens the health of the global ocean ecosystem and undermines the economies of countless fishing communities around the world. Fishing grounds in developing countries and on the high seas are especially vulnerable to exploitation by companies that engage in illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. International crime in fisheries flourishes because flag states do not fulfill their legal obligations to control the fishing operations of their vessels, and port states do not have the tools or incentives to identify and prosecute these crimes in port.
There is no single action capable of addressing IUU fishing. Many tools must be marshaled to close down the avenues for illegally caught and unregulated fish. The campaign is working to lay the foundations for a global system of enforcement to combat illegal fishing through the adoption and effective implementation of policy measures that enable the identification and tracking of industrial-scale fishing vessels, the development of practical tools to improve information-sharing among enforcement authorities, and the building of the necessary human and technical resources to sanction such vessels if they have engaged in illicit activities.
Position Overview
The officer, business partnerships and outreach will be responsible for developing strategies designed to leverage markets-based approaches to combatting illegal fishing and other Pew international fishery policy objectives. Working closely with the director, international fisheries and other team members the officer will integrate the policy, technology and enforcement components of the ending illegal fishing project into a comprehensive set of practical tools for the markets sector. The officer will develop partnerships and collaborative relationships with retailers, the seafood industry and other key constituencies to enable them to utilize the mechanisms afforded by new technologies to increase transparency and traceability in their supply chains for legally caught fish. He or she will conduct outreach and engage with key government officials, business leaders and international organizations to develop collaborative, cross-sector approaches designed to stop illegally caught fish entering the market. The officer will report to the manager, global campaign to end illegal fishing, and will be based in Pew’s Washington D.C. office or London UK office. There is a possibility that additional team members will be hired and report to this position as the work is developed.

Project Description
The civil legal system modernization project was launched in 2018 as an initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts. The project works to make the nation’s civil legal system more accessible and affordable to the public by implementing the most promising technologies and tools to assist self-represented litigants and improve state court efficiency. The project provides technical assistance to courts to encourage the broad-scale adoption of these technologies and conducts evaluations to determine best practices.
Specifically, the project will:
- Promote the adoption of online dispute resolution as an official judicial procedure in five states, through deployment statewide or in a major municipal subdivision of the state court system.
- Support the successful implementation of statewide legal-assistance portals in two states that provide access via the internet to diagnostics of civil legal problems and referral to a variety of information and services to assist self-represented litigants.
- Identify the next set of states to target for the adoption of statewide legal-assistance portals.
- Produce evaluations of four online dispute resolution systems and two legal assistance portals that estimate the expected return on investment for and examine changes in affordability, access, and time to case resolution for these technologies compared to traditional processing.
- Convene a prominent civil justice working group to produce recommendations regarding additional technologies and reforms that would improve access to justice.
Position Overview
The senior associate, technical assistance, provides intensive technical assistance to court systems and legal system stakeholders in order to successfully implement new technologies and process improvements. This position encompasses working with judges and court administrators, technology companies, vendors, and stakeholders representing end users of the systems.

The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with nearly 250 professionals working full-time at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economy to advocate for sound solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
Project Overview
At the start of 2014, a new era began for fisheries management in the European Union. A new Common Fisheries Policy, aiming to restore EU fish stocks, entered into force. For the previous five years, Pew and 192 other organizations worked through the OCEAN2012 coalition to support an ambitious reform. Though that process proved successful, overfishing is far from over. The legislation must be implemented well on the water if the new policy is to achieve its aims. To make this happen, Pew launched a campaign in 2014 that focuses on ending overfishing in northwestern European waters.
Position Overview
This Brussels-based position will be responsible for driving and supporting the objectives of Pew’s ending overfishing in northwestern Europe project through management of the Brussels staff. The manager will oversee engagement with EU institutions in Brussels, and member state governments, working with partner organizations to devise effective strategies and deploy persuasive arguments to advocate for improved fisheries management. This will include focusing on effective, timely implementation of the existing EU Common Fisheries Policy, including the setting of fishing limits that do not exceed scientific advice, and agreement of multi-year legislation and other management measures that prevent overfishing in European waters. The manager will report to and work closely with the project director, ending overfishing in northwestern Europe.

Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economy to advocate for sound solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
Project Overview
Coastal habitats, including the reefs, mangroves, marshes, and seagrasses found along shorelines worldwide, are among the most important parts of the larger ocean ecosystem that must function cohesively to ensure the ocean’s health. While relatively small in area, these habitats are large in terms of ecosystem importance, forming a critical interface between the land and sea. Over the next two years, countries will have an opportunity to revise their nationally determined contribution (NDC) in preparation for the first formal assessment of progress under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2020. Pew would take advantage of this deadline to engage three countries in identifying and integrating coastal habitat into their NDCs in a manner that is specific, measurable, and provides a high level of protection. Further, we would work with at least one developing country to develop a financing plan to secure external funding needed to implement the coastal habitat portion of their NDC. It is our intention that in the future the resulting NDCs and financing plan could serve as examples for other countries, particularly those developing countries that may need international funding assistance for their coastal habitat protections.
Position Overview
The senior associate provides program support to the protecting coastal wetlands and coral reefs project. This position will report to the manager, coastal wetlands and coral reefs and is based in Washington, DC. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.
