  • Environmental & Social Impact Coordinator (Senior Coordinator)

    Environmental & Social Impact Coordinator (Senior Coordinator)

    Duties and Responsibilities

    UNEP is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda and promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system. Its mandate is to coordinate the development of environmental policy consensus by keeping the global environment under review and bringing emerging issues to the attention of governments and the international community for action. UNEP’s Ecosystems Division works with international and national partners, providing technical assistance and capacity development for the implementation of environmental policy, and strengthening the environmental management capacity of developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
    The loss of forest, and the accompanying loss of ecosystems and the services they provide, threatens the security and livelihoods of local communities, reduces access to clean water, decreases soil productivity and accounts for 12 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, it has become apparent that the most significant threat to the world’s remaining forests is conversion for commercial agriculture – whether from large-scale operations or smallholder farmers – as well as other non-forest use. Many of the environmental benefits of intact forest are unpriced ‘externalities’, resulting in the market mispricing natural forest assets. By converting forest to land and then producing tradeable commodities that the market can price, land users are able to take advantage of this perceived arbitrage opportunity. Anticipated global economic growth and changing diets will strengthen the demand for agricultural commodities and place additional pressure on forests in the foreseeable future, meaning that the pressure will get even bigger than it is today without a changing paradigm how land is managed and agricultural commodities are produced. The challenge is to advance sustainable land use by developing business models that can manage sustainable commodity production while also maintaining forests and forest ecosystem services.
    Against that background, UNEP initiated a new Land Use Finance Programme – under the Climate Finance Unit – to proactively help unlock and (re)direct public and private capital towards sustainable land use, including deforestation-free soft commodity production. Given the growing portfolio of projects – including the AGRI3 Fund, the Restoration Seed Capital Facility, TLFF, &Green Fund as well as a growing body of work to stimulate scaling public and private investment – there is a need for a consultant to shape and lead the Environmental & Social Impact portfolio of the Climate Finance Unit.
    In this context, UNEP is hiring a specialized consultant to brings expertise on environmental and social risk / impact measurement – preferably with experience working with agri/forest businesses and finance institutions to the projects and blended finance facilities in which UNEP’s Climate Finance Unit is involved, and contribute to shaping this area of work for the unit together with the UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC). In addition, the consultant is expected to stay in close contact with the UN-REDD Programme and identify synergies and opportunities for joint work under the UN-REDD post 2020 programme. This novel area of work falls within the Nature for Climate Branch of UNEP’s Ecosystem Division.
    Under the supervision of the Head, Climate Finance Unit the consultant will perform a number of specialized tasks that contribute to shaping and executing the E&S portfolio of the Land Use Finance Programme of the Climate Finance Unit. The senior consultant will work directly with various team members in the Climate Finance Unit team as well as with UNEP-WCMC to jointly execute planned deliverables of the E&S portfolio, and report to the Head of the Climate Finance Unit.
    The location of this position is Geneva.
    The Environmental & Social Impact Lead (senior consultant) will report to the Head of the Climate Finance Unit and work in close collaboration with colleagues within the Climate Finance Unit and UNEP-WCMC as well as other relevant programmes and units such as the UN-REDD Programme, Climate Change Adaptation Unit and UNEP FI.

    Under the supervision of the Head of the Climate Finance Unit the consultant will:

    Update E&S impact and risk management strategy: including a greater focus on normative work and knowledge building and exchange. Outline how governments can use the E&S work that UNEP CFU has developed over the past 2-3 years.
    Update E&S impact and risk management strategy: including a greater focus on normative work and knowledge building and exchange. Outline how governments can use the E&S work that UNEP CFU has developed over the past 2-3 years.
    Develop a donor pitch deck + contribute to proposals to donors.
    Outline additional services lines for E&S impact and risk management:

    Work together in a joint and collaborative manner with UNEP – World Conservation Monitoring Centre’s (WCMC) on execution of programmatic delivery of on E&S risk management and impact monitoring. Identify other partners we could work with beyond UNEP-WCMC, depending on the strategic direction of UNEP’s work.
    Coordinate activities supporting demonstration of proof of concept facilities and funds that unlock private finance for sustainable land use that achieve real and positive E&S impact (LUFP Outcome 1)
    Scale public and private investment in sustainable land use by contributing to a community of practice, and standardizing practices for E&S risk management/impact monitoring (LUFP Outcome 2)
    Contribute to LUFP efforts to mainstream experiences, lessons and emerging standardized norms for E&S risk management/demonstrating impacts in sustainable land-use financing (LUFP Outcome 3)
    Backstopping analysis of E&S additionality/impact potential at the level of, and harnessing lessons from, individual land-use finance deals
    Provide E&S contributions to activities – deforestation-free supply chains, carbon market access and private sector investment in forest landscape restoration – delivered by CFU for the UN-REDD Programme
    Maintain E&S inputs into the day-to-day operations of the LUFP – regular team meetings; communications; internal reporting; programme development; work planning and strategizing; etc.
