CH Genève UNOG United Nations Office at Geneva Vollzeit

Lieu de travailGenva Durée prévue6 months Fonctions et responsabilitésBackground: Located within the UN Environment Division of Economy, the Resources & Markets Branch (UNEP-RMB) seeks to conserve the environment, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable development by enhancing the capacity of governments, businesses, and civil society to integrate environmental considerations into economic, trade, and financial policies and practices in accordance with the partnership and integrated policy-making approaches of sustainable development.

As part of UNEP-RMB, United Nations Environment Programme – Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a partnership between United Nations Environment and the global financial sector created in the wake of the 1992 Earth Summit with a mission to promote sustainable finance.

More than 450 financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and investors, work with UN Environment to understand today's environmental, social and governance challenges, why they matter to finance, and how to actively participate in addressing them.

UNEP FI's work also includes a strong focus on policy – by promoting country-level dialogues between finance practitioners, supervisors, regulators and policy-makers, and, at the international level, by promoting financial sector involvement in processes such as the global climate negotiations.

SDGs & Impact is a cross-cutting work stream, informing and supporting the sectoral and thematic lines of work at UNEP FI.

Its focus is on the funding gap for sustainable development and the achievement of the SDGs.

To achieve this a new, impact-based approach to business models, based on a holistic consideration of the three pillars of sustainable development is required.

The SDGs & Impact work stream is responsible for UNEP FI's unique methodology and works with the industry/sector teams, as well as a range of external partners, to normalize and roll-out impact analysis and management in mainstream finance.
