Duties and Responsibilities UN Environment Programme (Energy and Climate Branch) implements the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP), an ambitious reporting initiative to facilitate methane emissions reductions from the oil and gas sector. A consultant expert in project management in particular in the development of data bases, user-interfaces, data analysis and geographical information systems is needed to provide technical advice and support to the Programme Managers in charge of the OGMP and of the IMEO.

The OGMP is a multi-stakeholder partnership working to improve methane emissions reporting. The updated reporting framework (OGMP 2.0) launched in November 2020, is the most ambitious and comprehensive reporting framework for methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. Member companies will report on methane emissions levels from all material sources across the entire oil and gas value chain, including both operated and non-operated assets. OGMP 2.0 is a comprehensive measurement-based methane reporting framework that standardizes rigorous and transparent emissions accounting practices.

OGMP reported data will be integrated by the International Methane Emissions Observatory with other data streams (remote sensing data, scientific measurements data, national inventories)
