**Responsibilities**:
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 Interfaith Rainforest Initiative (IRI) is an international, multi-faith alliance convened by UNEP that brings moral urgency and faith-based leadership to global efforts to halt and reverse tropical deforestation. It is a platform for all religious leaders and faith communities to work shoulder-to-shoulder with indigenous peoples, governments, civil society and business on actions that protect tropical forests and safeguard those that serve as their guardians.

Multi-religious cooperation is essential for halting and reversing tropical deforestation. The Interfaith Rainforest Initiative is making the protection of rainforests and the rights of indigenous peoples a shared moral concern and religious priority. The Interfaith Rainforest Initiative works both globally and in five program countries - Brazil, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia and Peru - which contain more than 70% of the world’s remaining tropical forests.

The initiative has three primary goals: (i) educate and raise awareness about the deforestation crisis and equip religious leaders with the science, educational tools, and training needed to serve as effective advocates for rainforest protection; (ii) mobilize faith-based action by connecting religious leaders with allies from across sectors to multiply their collective impact; and (iii) influence policy and advocate for governments and companies to adopt, fulfill and expand upon their commitments to protect rainforests and the rights of the indigenous peoples that serve as their guardians.

This position is home-based, under the supervision of the CMU/UN-REDD Global Team Leader.

The consultant will perform the following tasks:

- Provide lead facilitation for the Global Steering Committee, ensuring all IRI partners are bringing the best of their organizations to bear on the program.
- Advise on fundraising and resource mobilization for IRI with governments, foundations and other prospective partners.
- Contribute to global advocacy strategies and partner engagement to position IRI to input into relevant international policy forums and other high-level events on forests, climate change and the rights of indigenous peoples.
- Lead outreach to key global stakeholders and organizations working on forests, climate change and indigenous peoples’ issues.
- Engage and secure buy-in of appropriate UN Country Teams, as well as links to relevant partner agencies in country (including Norwegian multi-sectoral teams and efforts already happening on the ground) to ensure they are engaged in IRI.
- Advise on a strategic vision and plan for an IRI global summit, including confirmation of high-level participants, policy entry points, partnerships and resources.
