Panama United Nations A tiempo completo

Responsibilities 1. Purpose. 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. The UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LAC 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 588 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 UNEP (UNEA).UNEP seeks to support countries in Latin America to implement the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the new Paris Agreement and the priority actions defined in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Latin American countries.The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region is the second most urbanised region in the world, with ~80% of the population living in cities. Within the next two decades, this proportion is projected to reach ~85%, thereby ranking the cities of the LAC region among the fastest-growing in the developing world. The rate of urban expansion is faster in small and medium-sized cities relative to mega cities. In the medium-sized city of Kingston in Jamaica, rapid urbanization is coupled with limited urban planning.

This rapid urbanisation and the associated expansion of cities is degrading urban and periurban ecosystems - including wetlands, green spaces and forests - that provide a wide range of ecosystem services for urban communities. The degradation of these ecosystems coupled with the impacts of climate change threaten the lives and well-being of urban communities in the LAC region and increase the risk of urban communities vulnerable to natural disasters. It is on this premise that the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through its Special Climate Change Fund is financing a project called the CityAdapt - Building Climate Resilience of Urban Systems through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in Latin America and the Caribbean, implemented by UNEP in 3 medium-sized cities in LAC, one of them being Kingston in Jamaica. The overarching goal of the CityAdapt project is to build the climate resilience of urban and peri-urban communities in cities in the LAC region through the implementation of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) approaches.

The objective of the project is therefore to increase the capacity of government and local communities living in three medium-sized LAC cities to adapt to the effects of climate change through the integration of EbA into urban planning in the medium
- to long-term.The objective of the project will be achieved through the implementation of activities under three main components: Component 1 - will include activities to strengthen the technical and institutional capacity of stakeholders involved in urban planning and environmental management to integrate EbA into development planning within cities. This will support improved decision-making on climate change adaptation in urban areas in the LAC region, thereby promoting climate-resilient urban development.Component 2 - on-the-ground, urban EbA interventions will be demonstrated in Kingston (Jamaica) to increase the capacity of urban communities living in vulnerable areas within the city to adapt to the effects of climate change. Component 3 - will promote the generation, dissemination and management of knowledge on urban EbA in each city and across the broader LAC region, thereby supporting upscaling of the urban EbA approach. To support the accomplishment of project objectives the UNEP has signed agreements with three local partners: The Forestry Department, The Nature Conservancy and the Jamaica 4-H Clubs.
- Understanding of environmental issues in Jamaica, including key actors and ongoing projects related to natural resources management would be an asset Languages -Fluent English is required.Confident in Spanish would be an asset.
