Duties and Responsibilities


The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the United Nations system's designated entity for addressing environmental issues at the global and regional level.

Its mandate is to coordinate the development of environmental policy consensus by keeping the global environment under review and bringing emerging issues to the attention of governments and the international community for action.

The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is a global community of policy, business, and finance professionals and organisations committed to collaboratively generating, managing, and sharing knowledge on the transition to an inclusive green economy.

The GGKP is led by UNEP, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the World Bank).

The mission of GGKP is to empower government decision makers, companies and financial institutions with evidence-based knowledge that can best support them to contribute effectively to the green economy transition.

The GGKP provides its best practice knowledge management services through its three core platforms, the Green Policy Platform, the Green Industry Platform, and the Green Finance Platform.

The Global National Implementation Plans (NIPs) Update project aims at assisting project countries to comply with their obligations on Article 7 and Article 15 of the Stockholm Convention, and particularly the review and update of NIPs and national reporting.

The project is designed in five components, whereby component 4 is delivered by GGKP.

The component 4 of the project focuses on knowledge sharing and dissemination, with the objective of enhancing participating countries' capacity to develop, review and update their NIPs.

The Implementing Sustainable Low and Non-Chemical Development in Small Island Developing States (ISLANDS) Programme is supporting 33 island nations in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Indian and Pacific regions to improve chemicals and waste management.

Within the ISLANDS programme, GGKP is the executing agency for the Communications, Coordination and Knowledge Management (CCKM) Global Project, which aims to amplify the results of the ISLANDS regional child projects so that the programme's overall impact is more than the sum of the individual projects' impacts.

A simultaneous interpreter is sought to support GGKP with English-Spanish and Spanish-English interpretation to deliver online webinars on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) thematic areas and NIPs in the languages of project beneficiaries.

  • Attend a test call with the project team before the webinar to ensure audio check.
