Office/Unit/Project Description
Working in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries/territories achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan emphasizes the critical links between environmental sustainability, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and broader efforts to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement. Climate change could drive an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030. One of its key priorities for the next 10 years is to support countries/territories accelerate ambitious action on climate change. Climate change is the single greatest challenge humanity has ever faced, threatening water and food security, health, livelihoods, and the safety of billions of people together with drastic negative impact on global ecosystem balance. UNDP’s ambitious “Climate Promise” supports over 120 countries/territories to enhance their climate ambitions under the Paris Agreement, with focus on greater emissions reduction and resilience building. The second phase of the Climate Promise, launched in 2021 at COP26 in Glasgow, focuses on NDC implementation, climate advocacy, and long-term planning to ensure inclusive climate action at the speed and scale required to keep global temperature below 1.5°C. The Climate Promise Portfolio provides direct financial and technical support to countries on NDC implementation in the context of national development priorities and is comprised of several distinct projects/programmes that require dedicated support. Complementary to this portfolio is UNDPs National Adaptation Plans support which is active is 50+ countries and supports the further elaboration and implementation of adaptation priorities.
The Climate Promise also supports countries to access to the Green Climate Fund Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme. This programme aims to support country-driven initiatives by developing countries to strengthen their institutional capacities, governance mechanisms, and planning and programming frameworks towards a transformational long-term climate action agenda. Under the GCF readiness window, working under the umbrella of the climate change adaptation sub-team and its associated partnerships, UNDP supports countries to advance their National Adaptation Plans processes.
Under the Readiness funding window, the GCF grants finance for (1) building the institutional capacities of the National Designated Authorities (NDAs) to the GCF, develop GCF Country Programmes through stakeholder consultations at the national level (including with the private sector and civil society), support direct access entities in their accreditation process, and accelerate access to GCF finance; and (2) for the development and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). This work contributes to the mainstreaming of adaptation in planning and budgeting systems and overall whole of government/whole of society approaches to risk informed development.

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.
Office/Unit/Project Description
Working in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries/territories achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan emphasizes the critical links between environmental sustainability, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and broader efforts to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement. Climate change could drive an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030. One of its key priorities for the next 10 years is to support countries/territories accelerate ambitious action on climate change. Climate change is the single greatest challenge humanity has ever faced, threatening water and food security, health, livelihoods, and the safety of billions of people together with drastic negative impact on global ecosystem balance. UNDP’s ambitious “Climate Promise” supports over 120 countries/territories to enhance their climate ambitions under the Paris Agreement, with focus on greater emissions reduction and resilience building. The second phase of the Climate Promise, launched in 2021 at COP26 in Glasgow, focuses on NDC implementation, climate advocacy, and long-term planning to ensure inclusive climate action at the speed and scale required to keep global temperature below 1.5°C. The Climate Promise Portfolio provides direct financial and technical support to countries on NDC implementation in the context of national development priorities and is comprised of several distinct projects/programmes that require dedicated support. Complementary to this portfolio is UNDPs National Adaptation Plans support which is active is 50+ countries and supports the further elaboration and implementation of adaptation priorities.
The Climate Promise also supports countries to access to the Green Climate Fund Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme. This programme aims to support country-driven initiatives by developing countries to strengthen their institutional capacities, governance mechanisms, and planning and programming frameworks towards a transformational long-term climate action agenda. Under the GCF readiness window, working under the umbrella of the climate change adaptation sub-team and its associated partnerships, UNDP supports countries to advance their National Adaptation Plans processes.
Under the Readiness funding window, the GCF grants finance for (1) building the institutional capacities of the National Designated Authorities (NDAs) to the GCF, develop GCF Country Programmes through stakeholder consultations at the national level (including with the private sector and civil society), support direct access entities in their accreditation process, and accelerate access to GCF finance; and (2) for the development and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). This work contributes to the mainstreaming of adaptation in planning and budgeting systems and overall whole of government/whole of society approaches to risk informed development.
The UNDP Country Offices directly implement the projects’ activities, with guidance and leadership of the NDAs. Senior Technical Advisors of the GCF Readiness Programme and NAPs provide targeted technical and management oversight and interface with the GCF, for this portfolio.
