Result of ServiceThe ultimate results of the service encompass the successful integration and advancement of green economy modelling initiatives in both Brazil and Morocco.

The comprehensive workplans outline strategic approaches for applying green economy modelling instruments, ensuring alignment with national priorities and stakeholder expectations.

Overall, these outcomes collectively contribute to the successful implementation, acceptance, and impact of green economy modelling, promoting sustainable practices and facilitating informed decision-making in Brazil and Morocco.

Work LocationRemote Expected duration6 months Duties and ResponsibilitiesThe Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) brings together the specialized expertise of five UN agencies – United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), International Labour Organisation (ILO), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR).

The Partnership aims to accelerate a sustainability revolution and economic transformation, including through green recovery efforts. The Partnership offers a comprehensive, coordinated and cost- effective package of 1) economic and scientific analytical tools; 2) technical assistance for policy development, and 3) capacity-building services for policy implementation.

In the context of PAGE, ETPU is supporting the Kingdom of Morocco across different activities, including the development of a green economy model to identify the financing gap in the implementation of their Low Carbon Strategy 2050, and the delivery of training to national stakeholders.

Among its areas of work, the Economic and Trade Policy Unit (ETPU) supports countries by conducting Green Economy Policy Assessments and applying Green Economy models to inform policymaking decision processes.

ETPU is currently supporting the Government of Brazil in conducting an assessment on their low carbon strategy, by conducting a green economy modelling exercise to analyse the impact of the strategy on relevant economic, environmental and social dimensions.

Located within the Industry and Economy Division, the Resources and Markets Branch examines how economics, trade, and finance interact with the environment and contribute to sustainable development at the local, national, regional and global levels.

The Resources and Markets Branch support countries through analytical studies in partnerships with UN agencies, intergovernmental institutions, governments, academic institutes, businesses and environmental groups to support the shift to an inclusive green economy and help deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UNEP is the voice for the environment within the United Nations system.

UNEP acts as a catalyst, advocate, educator and facilitator to promote the wise use of the global environment and sustainable development.

The Industry and Economy Division at UNEP plays a leading role in the Green Economy Initiative which aims to shift national economies on to a sustainable path, in which jobs and output growth are driven by increased investment in green sectors, and by a switch of consumers' preferences towards environmentally friendly goods and services.

This consultant position is hosted by the Economic and Trade Policy Unit.

The position focuses on providing expertise to green modelling-related activities, creating knowledge products, leading on discussions with relevant national institutions and respond to requests for guidance from governments in the area of green economy modelling.
