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. Minimizing environmental threats to human well-being from the environmental dimensions of conflicts and disasters has been a key priority for UNEP since 1999, when the Disasters and Conflicts Branch was established to deliver high-quality environmental expertise to national governments and partners in the UN system that work to respond to and prevent crises. With offices in different HQ and field duty stations, the Branch also has a strong track record of partnering with a broad range of actors and organizations—both within and outside the UN system—to develop, test, and disseminate innovative approaches to complex multidimensional problems. Within the Disasters and Conflicts Branch, the Policy and Analysis Unit delivers politically informed and context-specific analysis, policy advice, and programming aimed at supporting partners to prevent conflict, sustain peace, and build resilience to linked environmental, climate change, and conflict crises. In 2017, the Unit established a strategic partnership with the European Union to support fragile and crisis-affected regions, countries, and communities to address the climate and environmental risks that contribute to conflict and instability. In late 2023, UNEP and the EU agreed to strengthen their Partnership on Climate Change, Environment, and Security by extending its geographical scope to new regions, prioritizing local actors as change agents, and connecting these actors into networks of practitioners at regional and transregional levels. This new phase of engagement will have a duration of four years (2024–2027). The position is located at the Geneva duty station. Under the overall supervision of the Head of the Policy and Analysis Unit in Nairobi and the direct supervision of the Programme Officer or EU-UNEP Climate Change and Security Partnership Programme Manager, the incumbent will be responsible for the following duties:
