    Duties and Responsibilities

    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.

    UNEP's mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.

    Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, UNEP works through its divisions as well as regional, liaison and out-posted offices and a growing network of collaborating centres of excellence.

    UNEP Law Division is the lead Division charged with carrying out the functions of UNEP in the field of environmental law, governance and related policy issues.

    The Law Division also leads UNEP's role as secretariat to the Fifth Montevideo Programme on the Development and Periodic Review of Environmental Law (Montevideo Programme V).

    Montevideo Programme V is ten-year intergovernmental programme adopted by the UN Environment Assembly at its fourth meeting in March 2019.

    Montevideo Programme V will promote environmental rule of law, strengthen the related capacities in countries, and contribute to the environmental dimension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

    The Programme commenced in January 2020 and is a flagship initiative of the Law Division.

    21,455, Climate Change Framework", funded by the NDC Partnership Action Fund (PAF).

    In 2022, Chile published the Framework Law on Climate Change, which aims to address the various challenges that the country faces on climate change, in order to move towards a low carbon economy, and a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.

    Under this project, UNEP will provide technical legal assistance to Chile in drafting three national regulations, amending two national regulations and developing twenty climate change plans, with the aim of supporting the implementation of the country's recently adopted law on Climate change.

    Three national experts on climate change will be engaged in this project to provide technical knowledge and expertise on national legal and institutional frameworks, and support in the legal procedures associated with the elaboration and modification of regulations and plans in the framework of the implementation of the law in Chile.

    The project falls under the umbrella Law Division project "Progressive Development and Implementation of Environmental Law:
    Delivering Montevideo Programme V".

    The three environmental law experts shall work under the supervision of the Head, Montevideo Coordination and Delivery Unit (MCDU) of the Law Division or her designated representative(s), including the UNEP Subregional Office for the Southern Cone located in Montevideo, Uruguay, and UNEP Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.
