**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme (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 and sustainable development of the global environment. UNEP's Economy division plays a leading role in the Green Economy Initiative (GEI), launched by UNEP in 2008. The GEI aims to transition national economies onto a new 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.

Located within 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. Located in Geneva, it heads the Green Economy Initiative to assist countries in integrating environmental considerations into economic and trade policies.

In 2018, the Sustainable Infrastructure Partnership (SIP) was established as a platform to promote and support integrated approaches to sustainable infrastructure planning and development. Integrated approaches recognize the centrality of infrastructure to the 2030 Agenda, and can help deliver optimal environmental, social, and economic outcomes of infrastructure development by considering the complex interlinkages between different infrastructure systems, sectors, phases, governance structures, and aspects of sustainability. In collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders, the SIP provides knowledge, facilitates international collaboration, and supports capacity-building at the country-level to foster systems-level approaches, which more fully exploit the complex interlinkages between infrastructure and the SDGs.

The specific objective of this consultancy is to support UNEP’s work for green economy transition of countries and for informing policy makers and other key stakeholders to better design and implement economic policies, enabled by digital technologies. To implement digital infrastructure projects, the Economic and Trade Policy Unit requires assistance for activities related to data and policy analysis, knowledge management, outreach, expert engagement and for scoping technical solutions related to incentive challenges that prevent companies from collecting and sharing the data for the compliance of green policies (such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, internet of things, additive manufacturing and big data for data collection, analysis, automation and dissemination), as well as for incentivizing information value generation and cost sharing.
