UNDP is the leading United Nations organization fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries, we help nations to build integrated, lasting solutions for people and planet. Learn more at undp.org or follow at @UNDP.

UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations. UNDP has been present in Indonesia for over 35 years, carrying out its mission to share technical expertise to assure inclusive growth, better services, environmental sustainability and good governance leading to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP is helping the country to develop policies, leadership skills, partnership abilities, institutional capabilities, and build resilience.

Of the priority areas, UNDP is working for a sustainable environment and development policy, which  integrates climate change concerns and at the same time provides poverty reduction and human  development. Climate change is a reality and urgent actions in climate change adaptation and mitigation are required. With an over 80,000 km long coastline and 17,000 islands, many people in Indonesia are depending on climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture, forestry and coastal community economies. Consequently, Indonesia is especially vulnerable to climate change, with the severe impacts of a changing climate already being felt in various parts of the country.

In line with the Government of Indonesia’s priorities, the Environment Unit provides support on programming, mobilizing funding, M&E and backstopping the Government in implementing projects and programmes. To this end, the Environment Unit’s portfolio covers a vast range of issues including renewable energy, energy efficiency, access to energy, phasing-out of ozone depleting substances with high global warming potential, Green Economy modelling, natural resource management, environmental governance, climate change expenditure review, and climate change adaptation, among others.

The Environment Unit requires strong financial and administrative support to carry out the work properly. Under the supervision of the Programme Finance Associate, the Project Finance Clerk is needed to support project implementation under the Unit in terms of administration and finance.
