Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse any kind of harassment including sexual harassment and discrimination. All selected candidates will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ Regional and Country Office levels offers a spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context UNDP invests in its Global Policy Network (GPN) a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in UNDP’s Strategic Plan. Within the GPN the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages; represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private government and civil society dialogues; and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas.

As part of the Global Policy Network in the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support UNDP's Nature Climate Change Energy and Waste (NCE&W) Hubs promote and scale up integrated whole-of-governance approaches and nature-based solutions that reduce poverty and inequalities strengthen livelihoods and inclusive growth mitigate conflict forced migration and displacement and promote more resilient governance systems that advance linked peace and security agendas. This Multi-billion-dollar Portfolio Encompasses BPPS’ Hubs on Nature Climate Energy and Waste works with governments civil society and private sector partners to integrate natural capital environment and climate concerns into national and sector planning and inclusive growth policies; support country obligations under Multilateral Environmental Agreements; and implement the UN’s largest portfolio of in-country programming on environment climate change and energy.

Marine and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity contributes substantially to human development including via the provision of food security transport energy tourism and critical ecosystem services; ocean sectors contribute around $3 trillion per year to the global market economy. Due to governance and market failures leading to unsustainable ocean practices the health and socioeconomic contributions of the ocean and especially coral reefs face significant threats including overfishing pollution habitat loss invasive species and climate change. These threats disproportionately impact SIDS and coral nations where economic and community development is highly dependent on nature. UNDP works with national and local governments intergovernmental organizations UN agencies NGOs academia and the private sector to advance integrated cross-sectoral ecosystem-based approaches for the protection and management of marine and coastal ecosystems that help to create and maintain sustainable blue economies. Through UNDP’s Ocean Promise the organisation commits to mainstreaming marine and coastal conservation and management targets into SDG-based national development and poverty reduction strategies and facilitating strategic partnerships and coordinated approaches to action and advocacy for marine and coastal resources management. This aligns closely with UNDP’s SIDS Offer—Rising Up For SIDS which focuses on three interconnected pillars that can kickstart green and blue recovery and transform development: (i) enhance climate action; (ii) propel blue economies; and (iii) catalyse digital transformation aiming to provide integrated development solutions specific to SIDS.
