    The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners' peacebuilding, humanitarian, and development projects around the world. Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement, and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors, and United Nations organizations. With over 8,000 personnel spread across 80 countries, UNOPS offers its partners the logistical, technical and management knowledge they need, where they need it. By implementing around 1,000 projects for our partners at any given time, UNOPS makes significant contributions to results on the ground, often in the most challenging environments.

    The UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC) was established in early 2022. UNEP-CCC is programmatically guided by UN Environment (UNEP) and operationally supported by UNOPS. UNEP-CCC was established to ensure the preservation and continuation of the experience and capacity established through a 30-year working relationship between UNEP, the Danish Technical University (DTU), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), known as the UNEP DTU Partnership (UDP).

    UNEP-CCC is a leading international advisory institution on energy, climate and sustainable development. Its work focuses on assisting low- and middle-income countries transition towards more low-carbon development paths and supports the integration of climate-resilience in national development. UNEP-CCC is actively engaged in implementing the UN Environment Programme's Climate Change Strategy and Energy Programme by delivering technical assistance and analytical work to emerging markets and developing countries in the context of the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    The Institutional Development Section (ID) is one of five sections at UNEP-CCC. It provides the institutional development expertise required to engage in policy, planning, transparency, and market development and for climate policy integration into regular development processes.

The candidate will strengthen the visibility of UNEP-CCC's work on the implementation of Article 6 carbon market approaches in international fora and contribute to analytical work and publications.

    The ID section also supports countries to translate their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) into concrete sector strategies and actions ready for financing and implementation, and to increase the ambition of their NDCs. The section engages key decision-makers and stakeholders: national and sub-national government entities, the private sector, financial institutions, civil society, etc.
