**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading 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’s Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LAC Office), located in Panama City, works closely with the 33 countries of the region and its activities are integrated into the Medium-Term Strategy and the Programme of Work approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).

UNEP is one of the implementing agencies of the EUROCLIMA+ Programme in the Latin American Region. The EUROCLIMA+ is an EU-funded programme to assist Latin American countries in their efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change. The specific objective of the EUROCLIMA+ Programme is to foster climate mitigation, resilience, and investment in Latin America.

In this context, EUROCLIMA+ will contribute to effective cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Latin America on climate change related topics, in particular the regional and multi-country actions implemented by UNEP under EUROCLIMA+ will help Latin American countries to raise the level of ambition of Nationally Determined Conditions (NDCs), accelerate the implementation of NDCs in strategic sectors and contribute to the development of low-emission Long Term Strategies. Moreover, the EUROCLIMA+ Programme as a regional cooperation initiative presents an added value to promote concrete actions, good practices, and coordination at the regional level. This provides an interesting opportunity to promote synergies for the implementation of the NDCs in Latin America, creating economies of scale with respect to the provision of technical assistance services, as well as to build an aggregate vision on the progress and challenges of the region to advance in the fight against climate change.

Finally, as part of EUROCLIMA+’ Programme’s governance, the Project Support Consultant is expected to support the Regional Programme Management Officer for EUROCLIMA+, at UNEP, in the coordination, with the implementing agencies, of dialogues with partner countries and other regional actors about the programme’s actions and operationalization, as guided by the Programme Support Unit (PSU). Specifically, the incumbent will help in overseeing and implementing day-to-day programme coordination and monitoring, communication and visibility, reporting, knowledge management, meeting and event facilitation, and logistics,
