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.UNEP, through its 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, to implement the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement and the priority actions defined in countries Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The office works to serve the needs 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).In terms of supporting countries in the region to attain the global commitments signed within the framework of the Paris Agreement, UNEPs Latin America and the Caribbean Sub-programme on Climate Change aims at strengthening the ability of countries to move towards climate-resilient and low emission strategies for sustainable development and human well-being. In this framework, the UNEP Sub-programme on Climate Change, through its Climate Change Unit leads and supports several initiatives oriented at designing, promoting, and implementing innovative mitigation and adaptation solutions at the national and subnational levels, and strengthening the transparency framework of the countries.The expected accomplishment regarding climate change adaptation is that adaptation approaches, including the ecosystem-based approach, are implemented, and integrated into key sectoral and national development strategies to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience to climate change impacts. Furthermore, UNEPs Sub-programme on Climate Change is also committed to ensuring that cross-cutting issues such as gender equity and womens empowerment are effectively integrated into the development of its tasks to guarantee equitable development in line with its adaptation objectives.In this context, the Ministry of Energy, Natural Resources, Environment and Mining of Honduras and UNEP have agreed on the implementation of the project Enabling environments to effectively plan, implement, monitor and report strategic National Adaptation Processes in Honduras (Plan A Project), framed within the Readiness program of the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

The project is aimed to sustainably build country capacity in identifying, prioritizing, planning, and implementing measures that address medium and long-term adaptation needs considering UNFCCC decisions 1/CP.16 and 5/CP.17 and all elements of the UNFCCC Technical Guidelines for National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). The ultimate objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of Honduras to the impacts of climate variability and change, by building adaptive capacity and resilience through the integration of climate change adaptation into planning and implementation within all relevant sectors and at different levels, as appropriate. Specifically, the project has the objective to strengthen the country's capacity to integrate adaptation into national and local planning, including the participation of different line ministries, local governments, the private sector, and civil society organizations.The project seeks to achieve its components and objective through: Strengthening institutional and technical capacity, and stakeholder engagement at different levels.Strengthening national adaptation strategic planning by revising, updating, and institutionalizing existing adaptation planning instruments.Fostering financial flows and investment for adaptation measures under the National Adaptation Plan and the National Determined Contributions.Strengthening knowledge management through the development and implementation of Adaptation Knowledge management strategy.Strengthening the adaptation transparency framework to increase the country capacity to monitor and report adaptation progress effectively. To fulfill the objective of the project, the UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office is recruiting a Climate Change Communications Specialist, who will be primarily responsible for providing assistance to the National Project Coordinator and the Project Management Unit (Plan A Project Team), through: i) continuous guidance on an appropriate communication strategy for the projects main results and materials produced, ii) the development of a communication strategy to foster the participation of the private sector in adaptation planning and iii) the development of a national communication programme to highlight the importance of transitioning towards a clima
