The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the international 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 'NDC Act & Invest Project - implemented by UNEP seeks to provide comprehensive, science-based, and policy-aligned support to countries to develop viable Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to translate into concrete strategies and actions ready for financing and implementation, and fosters accelerated public and private investment in sector specific NDC implementation. The Ministry of Environment of Peru, as the national authority on climate change, has proposed implementing a digital platform for the Monitoring System of the Adaptation and Mitigation Measures of the Nationally Determined Contributions (SIMOM). MINAM, seeking to integrate climate action with a key player such as the private sector, launched Huella de Carbono Perú (HC-Perú) in November 2019. HC-Peru is a tool of the Peruvian government that recognizes the efforts of public and private organizations that voluntarily wish to manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In doing so, they contribute to achieving the national goal of a 40% reduction in emissions by 2030 under the Paris Agreement, as well as the long-term goal of becoming a carbon-neutral country by 2050. This platform is part of the System for Monitoring Adaptation and Mitigation Measures (SIMOM) and was created within the framework of the Regulations of the Framework Law on Climate Change, Law 30754. In October 2021, Ministerial Resolution No. 185-2021-MINAM approved the Guide for the operation of HC-Peru, which establishes recommendations to guide the registration of user organizations, the use of the HC-Peru tool, and establishes criteria for MINAM to encourage GHG emissions management. More than five years after its launch, there are aspects of the HC-Peru Program that need to be improved in order to enhance the user experience, achieve greater reach, and ensure the sustainability of the service. In this sense, UNEP is recruiting a Communications Advisor for Peru to support the work of the Ministry of Environment (MINAM). This support will consist of providing communications and logistical support for the organization of the HC-Peru annual recognition event, including the planning and management of logistical arrangements such as invitations, venue coordination, catering services, equipment rental, and other operational requirements necessary for the event. The consultant will also prepare a manual document describing the procedures for the organization of the event. The consultant will be supervised by UNEP’s NDC Act & Invest Global Coordinator and will work in a home-based modality, enabling the consultant to work remotely while participating in meetings and coordination activities with the Ministry of Environment (MINAM) as required.
