    United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) background
    Full time
    Description

    The United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the world's 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 environment.

    The consultant's research and inputs are expected to cover the following:

    Introduction to the topic of NbI, including key concepts and functions of NbI.

    Examples of service delivery through NbI in different sectors and ecosystems, and identification of the types of services and sectors most relevant for decent work in NbI.

    Discussion of NI specific issues that may have implications for decent work outcomes, e.g., integration of NbI with other types of infrastructure, the timeframes required for service delivery through NbI, and comparison between NbI and other types of infrastructure solutions.

    Identification and description of the different types of work involved in planning, delivering and operating NbI across different phases of the infrastructure lifecycle.

    Identification of the skills needed for performing the identified types of work.
    Barriers to decent work creation through NbI and recommendations on how to address the barriers.
    Identification of two case studies to illustrate decent work in NbI.

    The examples and case studies provided should, to the greatest degree possible, reflect geographic diversity in the use of NbI, both in terms of the types of landscapes and ecosystems where they are deployed, as well as the socioeconomic context (i.e., examples from both the Global North and South).

    In addition, the chapter should address the differences in the scales of NbI, both micro-scale NbI (e.g., green wall) and landscape-scale (e.g., watershed protection).
