Background
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels offers a spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in its Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in UNDP’s Strategic Plan.
Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS’s staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. UNDP’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan highlights our continued commitment to eradicating poverty, accompanying countries in their pathways towards the SDGs and working towards the Paris Agreement. As part of the Global Policy Network in the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support, UNDP’s Nature, Climate Change, Energy, and Waste (NCE&W) Hubs promote and scale up integrated whole-of-governance approaches and nature-based solutions that reduce poverty and inequalities, strengthen livelihoods and inclusive growth, mitigate conflict, forced migration and displacement, and promote more resilient governance systems that advance linked peace and security agendas.
BPPS’ Hubs on Nature, Climate, Energy and Waste works with governments, civil society, and private sector partners to integrate natural capital, environment and climate concerns into national and sector planning and inclusive growth policies; support country obligations under Multilateral Environmental Agreements; and implement the UN’s largest portfolio of in-country programming on environment, climate change, and energy. In addition to the country portfolio, Nature Hub team is supporting a growing body of global work funded by bilateral donors and partners, including the Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN), Green Growth Programme, Nature for Development Programme, Global Fund for Coral Reefs Program etc.
In 2018, UNDP joined the multi-partner initiative PANORAMA – Solutions for a Healthy Planet https://panorama.solutions/en, as a co-coordinator for its Protected Areas (currently 30×30 Solutions) thematic community. PANORAMA is an initiative to document and promote examples of inspiring, replicable solutions across a range of conservation and sustainable development topics, enabling cross-sectoral learning and inspiration. PANORAMA allows practitioners to share and reflect on their experiences, increase recognition for successful work, and to learn with their peers how similar challenges have been addressed around the globe. The initiative is governed by a Project Board and Partnership Council comprised of all partner organizations (IUCN, GIZ, UNDP, UNEP, World Bank, Rare, GRID-Arendal, ICCROM, ICOMOS, EcoHealth Alliance, OCTO and IFOAM) and supported by a PANORAMA Management Unit jointly hosted by IUCN and GIZ.
With financial support from the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer protection (BMUV), a PANORAMA programme has been created to strengthen the PANORAMA initiative, which improves the global learning from successful practices among practitioners and decision-makers in the context of nature conservation and towards the goals of the CBD Global Biodiversity Framework. The project entered its second phase in May 2024, as a project extension with additional funding from BMUV.
The expected Impact of the second phase of the project is:
“Powerful knowledge management, learning and exchange practices applied, replicated and scaled up by relevant actors are increasingly contributing towards the global biodiversity, climate and sustainability goals.”
The programme’s key outputs include:
