- The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is the strategic partnership between the United Nations and over 500 banks, insurers and investors. For over 30 years UNEP FI has been shaping and driving the international sustainable finance agenda, setting global standards and growing a global network of leading financial institutions. Through its work-streams and regional activities, peer learning, methodology development, training and research, UNEP FI carries out its mission to help the financial industry align with and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals and with that take on the crucial role it must play in achieving a sustainable future. UNEP FI’s Banking Team is responsible for the initiative’s work with its over 400 member banks in more than 60 countries around the world. This includes overseeing and supporting the implementation of the Principles for Responsible Banking. On 22nd September 2019, UNEP FI member banks representing USD 47 trillion and with that over a third of the global banking industry officially signed and launched the Principles for Responsible Banking together with UN Secretary General Guterres. The Principles for Responsible Banking guide the change towards a new, sustainable global banking industry that takes on a key role in helping society to achieve its goals for a sustainable future. With these Principles, banks commit to strategically align their business with and scale up their contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals and the objectives of the Paris Agreement on Climate. Nature is one of the strategic priorities and focus areas of the PRB signatory community. The launch of the Global Biodiversity Framework provide the global framework for banks to align with. UNEP FI's Nature Thematic works with the UNEP FI membership to advance the integration of nature into financial decision-making and provides a gateway for financial institutions, bridging nature and finance, driving practical, science-based action on global environmental frameworks using the convening power of the United Nations. UNEP FI’s Nature is looking for a Consultant Banking & Nature to support banking-related activities with the UNEP FI membership. Key activities include: PRB Implementation guidance on Nature: Signatories of the Principles for Responsible banking commit to setting targets and taking action in areas where they have most significant impact. To be able to do so, banks require guidance on how to set targets and take action, especially in areas that are rather new for banks and need to be unpacked for banking, such as for example nature and biodiversity or pollution. Guidance is co-developed with banks globally and is the foundation for capacity building, training and implementation support for those impact areas. Awareness raising & capacity building on Nature: Working together with colleagues in UNEP FI’s Nature team, to build capacity amongst the banking membership for how to assess impact and set targets that align portfolios with the Global Biodiversity Framework, relevant SDGs, and other relevant framework. The consultant will support the delivery of webinars to raise awareness or develop capacity building, draft messages to participants, contribute to newsletters and other internal activities, and to other communication opportunities from the nature team. Stakeholder & membership engagement: Engaging stakeholders, partners, and the UNEP FI membership to ensure the delivery of the UNEP FI’s Nature Strategy for banks. Specific tasks and responsibilities: The consultant will provide assis
