The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the United Nations system's designated entity for addressing environmental issues at the global and regional level. 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.

The Latin America and the Caribbean Office located in Panama City works closely with the 33 countries of the region - including 16 small island developing States, with a population of about 650 million people. The office works to serve the needs of the region and its activities are integrated into the work programs approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly of UN Environment (UNEA).

The overall objective of the UNEP Haiti Office is to assist the Government of Haiti and the UN Country Team with addressing climate, nature and pollution challenges in the most vulnerable country of the Western Hemisphere. UNEP’s presence in Haiti since 2008 has been driven by the specific focus of assisting with disaster risk reduction and strengthening resilience based on solutions provided by nature and enhanced access to environmental information, science, and improved normative framework.

Under the direct supervision of the Head of Haiti Office in the Latin America and the Caribbean Office, the intern will provide support to the Head of Haiti Office and the UNEP team in Haiti on three key areas of work related to environmental economics: (i) establishing an inter-ministerial task force on environmental economics to support cross-sector normative and policy development; (ii) assessing the economy of the pilot resilient landscape, the services provided by the environment to local socioeconomic activities and the opportunities for green, blue and circular economy development; and (iii) piloting innovative green finance mechanisms like payments for environmental services.

One (or more) intern(s) is sought for a six-month internship period. The Internship is UNPAID and full-time. Interns work five days per week (40 hours) under the supervision of a staff member in the Haiti Project Office.

Interns are not financially remunerated by the United Nations. Costs and arrangements for travel, visas, accommodation and living expenses are the responsibility of interns or their sponsoring institutions.

**Responsibilities**:
Daily responsibilities will depend on the individual’s background, the intern’s assigned office as well as the internship period.

Under the direct supervision of the Head of the Haiti Office, of the Latin America and the Caribbean Office, the intern will be supporting the Macaya Grand Sud phase 3 project “nature-based solutions and environmental governance for SIDS resilience - Haiti. Detailed tasks include:

- Review international literature on existing and state-of-the-art methodologies and tools supporting the economic valuation of ecosystem services,, the analyzing of environmental contribution to sustainable development and resilience, the mapping of green financial flows from public and private sector, the integration of environment in national accounting systems and national economic indexes, and the modeling of environmental impacts and benefits of multi-sector policies and investments, including spatial mapping and modeling systems.
- Review relevant international and national experiences on the way environment work as a threat (climate change ) as well as an opportunity (nature-based solutions ) to resilience building. Identify the key associated metrics and indicators that would be relevant to monitor as part of environmental and economic components of a resilience monitoring and evaluation system.
- Review national projects and initiatives associated with environmental economic assessment as per areas listed above. Consult with relevant partners using virtual communication tools like Teams or Zoom.
- Assist with the formulation of terms of reference for the inter-ministerial task force on environmental economics.
- Review the existing literature on the economic situation in Haiti, in similar SIDS/LDC, and in the pilot landscapes, formulate a SWOT matrix for green, blue and circular economy development, and propose the formulation of key assumptions that need to be assessed to design adequate economic and financial solutions to support green, blue and circular economic development in pilot landscapes.
