**LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN REGION**

The WBG serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR). Clients range from large rapidly growing middle and upper-middle income clients to IDA countries, to small Caribbean states, and to one fragile state. Despite immense resources and dynamic societies, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty. The region is extremely exposed and vulnerable to many natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and droughts that can ravage entire regions, and devastating hurricanes. It is also among the most vulnerable due to high population density in the areas where these disasters strike and the need for better risk management practices.

**ENVIRONMENT NATURAL RESOURCES & BLUE ECONOMY GLOBAL PRACTICE**

To advance this agenda, the Environment Natural Resources & Blue Economy Global Practice (ENB GP) has five key business lines consisting of lending and non-lending services in (1) Forests, Watersheds and Sustainable Landscapes (Green business line); (2) Marine, Coastal, Aquatic Resources and Ocean Health (Blue Economy business line); (3) Pollution Management and Environmental Health (Pollution Management business line); (4) Environmental Economics, Policies and Institutions Business line; and (5) Environmental Risk Management Business line, defined as: the delivery of effective environmental risk management and sustainability by managing risk at the project level and creating opportunities to advance sustainable development. Environmental risk management includes: (a) provision of high-quality and timely services to investment projects across the Bank, including those under the previous safeguard policies, and (b) the effective implementation of the Environment and Social Framework (ESF) that has been in effect for all new investment projects since October 1, 2018.

The ESF responds to new and varied development demands and challenges that have arisen over time. It brings the World Bank’s environmental and social (E&S) protections into closer harmony with those of other development institutions, and makes important advances in areas such as transparency, non-discrimination, social inclusion, public participation, and accountability - including expanded roles for grievance redress mechanisms. The framework helps to ensure social inclusion, and explicitly references human rights in the overarching vision statement. The ESF is made up of the World Bank’s vision for sustainable development, the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Policy for Investment Project Financing, and ten Environmental and Social Standards (or ESS’s). These set out the mandatory requirements for the World Bank, in relation to the projects it supports through Investment Project Financing (IPF), and for Borrowers.

The activities of staff working on environmental safeguards/environmental risk management within the ENB GP include leading or contributing to analytical work and policy dialogue, as well as supporting lending operations and building client capacity across all sectors in areas related to environmental sustainability, environmental risk and impact assessment and management, pollution prevention, control and management, resource efficiency, occupational and community health and safety, biodiversity conservation, stakeholder engagement, among other issues.

**Unit Context**

The Environment, Natural Resources and Blue Economy Global Practice has two Practice Management Units for LCR as of July 1, 2024. The unit including Central America and the Dominican Republic has about 25 staff, about half of whom work on environmental safeguards and environmental risk management with the remainder working primarily on lending and knowledge products. Staff are based in country offices and in Washington DC with frequent travel to the region. The Central America and Dominican Republic Country Management Unit (CMU) is one of 6 CMUs in the LAC Region and has a pipeline and portfolio of over 75 projects, of which about half have a Moderate environmental and social risk rating, with Substantial risk projects comprising approximately a quarter and Low-risk and High-risk projects make up the remaining quarter.

**THE POSITION**

**DUTIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES**

**The Senior Environment Specialist** will have the following key responsibilities.
- In collaboration with the other Coordinator for LC2, coordinate, mentor and supervise a team of Environment Specialists and consultants delivering the environmental risk management business line for the CMU (or a
