Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
UNEP's Early Warning and Assessments Division (EWAD) is responsible for analyzing the state of the global environment, providing early warning information and assessing global and regional environmental trends to catalyze and promote international cooperation and action on the environment. The Unit is responsible for delivering the Global Environment Outlook (GEO), UNEP’s flagship assessment report. GEO is an intergovernmental and expert led process to prepare an independent assessment of the state of the environment, the effectiveness of the policy response to address these environmental challenges, and possible pathways to achieve various internationally agreed environmental goals.
In this outreach awareness, we aim to ensure a successful launch of the GEO-7 report during UNEA through planning of various events (translations for the key messages, press launch, side event, exhibitions, regional launches where applicable). Additionally, we seek to explore the most inclusive forms of written language, to speak to key audiences ranging from policymakers, academia, youth and business.
We are looking for 1 Online Volunteer who has experience in global environmental assessments, launch and outreach expertise, with excellent programme management skills. The task will include the following responsibilities:
- Assist in the coordination of the production phase of the GEO-7 report and its Summary for Policymakers including the digitization of the report.
- Support the logistics of the launch and associated events of GEO-7 during the 7th United Nations Environment Assembly
- Support the translation of the Summary for Policymakers into all UN official languages.
The average estimated workload is expected to include roughly reviewing 5-7 documents (these can include scientific articles, studies etc.) over the course of the assignment duration.
The Online Volunteer/s will have the opportunity to build connections with the Global Assessments unit and learn about how environmental assessments such as the GEO bridge the gap between science and policy.
Candidate should have strong programme management experience in conducting global environmental assessments. Background knowledge and work experience in outreach and communications is desirable. A degree in a related field is considered an asset.
Candidate should have professional knowledge in English.
We are searching for a person with a high feeling of responsibility and knowledge of environmental work, to ensure the quality of the work.
