  • WESR Private Sector Engagement Strategy Consultant

    WESR Private Sector Engagement Strategy Consultant

    Duties and Responsibilities
    Organization setting and Background:

    The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. 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.
    This consultancy is managed by UNEP’s Early Warning and Assessment Division. The Early Warning and Assessment Division is responsible for analyzing the state of the global environment, providing early warning information and assessing global and regional environmental trends to catalyze and promote international cooperation and action on the environment.

    The success of World Environment Situation Room (WESR) will not only bring benefit to the UNEP and UN family, but more profoundly, it will make digital public good datasets on the environment discoverable, accessible and interoperable so that that they can be used by private sector actors and civil society for decision-making, monitoring progress, and creating innovations and entrepreneurship opportunities. The private sector is not excluded from the development of WESR. On the contrary, it is a vital player in this process.
    The development of WESR follows a phased approach and its long-term target towards 2030 is to evolve into a phase of a federated data system with networked data, users and applications enabling users to create their innovations. In this phase, the private sector, together with governments and civil society, will be not only using data, products and services provided by WESR but creating innovations powered by WESR. Therefore, at the current initial phase of WESR development, UNEP needs to consider how to engage the private sector and set out strategies to create access for the private sector’s contribution in the long run.
    Engaging with the private sector and philanthropy sector will play a hugely important role for the WESR to implement its strategy for three phases in 2023-2030, from “setting the foundation to increased engagement &capacity development’ and “a network of users, data, applications” and “knowledge for transparent access and sharing of ‘environmental data’ supporting policy and action for sustainable development and humanitarian action” at the national levels, regional levels and global levels.
    In addition, those target groups will provide advanced technology and massive funding opportunities for WESR to address the funding gap of WESR implementation in different stages of strategy in 2023-2030. Ultimately, all the above work will be dramatically beneficial for extensive integration and alignment with the “Global Environmental Data Strategy” of WESR UNEP.
    In this regard, setting up the UN WESR Finance Facility-The sustainable funding Initiative for World Environmental Data and Early Warning. UN WESR Finance Facility will play a hugely important role in addressing the funding gaps WESR facing in 2023-2030. Subsequently, it will make enormous contributions to the “Global Environmental Data Strategy” of WESR UNEP to better implement its strategy and vision as a “one environment data approach for all”, for the place, for the people and the planet, aligning with the UNEP-mid-term strategy.
    To this end, UNEP seeks to identify a consultancy to develop a strategic roadmap to engage private sector as a critical component of WESR development. This consultancy will ultimately contribute to mobilize the resources from the private sector and philanthropy sector, so that it will dramatically contribute to implement Science-Policy foundational subprogramme and Digital Transformation enabling subprogramme.
