Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and **inspiring stories.**

**Job Purpose and Organizational Context**

UNDP’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan emphasizes the critical links between environmental sustainability, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and broader efforts to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement. The strategy includes development financing as one of the key enablers achieve the objectives of these agendas and emphasize the importance of creating partnerships with governments and the private sector to align public and private capital flows with the SDGs to mobilize finance at scale.

The Regional Hub for Latin America and the Caribbean support 24 countries in LAC and frames its work under the Regional Program for LAC (2022-2025) through its country offices with governments to develop tailor-made solutions to development challenges and contribute to strengthening local capacities. UNDP's LAC Environment and Energy Team (LAC E&E) supports these country offices to help Latin American and Caribbean countries advance their nature, environment, climate, waste and chemicals agendas, and to develop sound national and sectoral planning and inclusive growth policies.

Within this portfolio, the LAC E&E is implementing the project "Green Innovative Finance for LAC" (GIF4LAC) with funding from the Swedish Cooperation Agency (SIDA) that has as its main objective to: Promote the mobilization of green finance in the LAC region to accelerate the implementation of climate and nature plans as a pathway to regional environmental sustainability and resilience.

According to the State of Finance for Nature report a USD 4.1 trillion financial global gap has been identified to meet the climate change, biodiversity, and land degradation targets for 2050. While the LAC region is demonstrating increased ambition, currently most of the investment is derived from public sources of finance. Although valuable, governments need to recognize that public finance will not be enough. Moreover, although LAC is the most biodiverse region in the world, whose own biodiversity provides over USD15.3 trillion in ecosystem benefits and in fact the economic model in LAC is dependent on its natural ecosystems, there is an enormous funding gap in the region in being able to address their conservation, land degradation and climate needs.

Solutions to mobilize sustainable finance are needed to ensure that public and private financial flows are being directed to manage these complex crises. Solutions must consider the need to crowd in new investment sources while helping governments identify how to better mobilize their own finance using green budget target methodologies to mainstream climate and nature throughout government spending.

The current project seeks to leverage transformational change to enable the mobilization of green finance and to identify investable projects that are positive for nature, climate and people for the implementation of the NDCs, NAPs and NBSAPs. To guarantee the implementation of the project and build solid partnerships and financial instruments that are sustainable and effective for the nature and climate agendas in the region, the LAC E&E Team is recruiting a Green Investment and Partnerships Specialist to support this project as well as partnerships efforts for the wider Nature and Climate team in the region.

**Duties and Responsibilities**

As part of the LAC Environment and Energy Team, the Green Investment and Partnerships Specialist will be responsible for building solid partnerships for the Nature and
