Senior Technical Advisor, Water, Environment and Climate Change Nexus - Kenya (Technical Specialist - Environmental) - Retainer Homebased

WEC Background: 

The Water, Environment and Climate (WEC) portfolio, based in Vienna, and with offices based globally is part of the UNOPS Global Portfolio Office. The Portfolio has built strong partnerships and is effectively managing a portfolio of over 500 million USD over the last 15 years to support key initiatives with fund management, project implementation and administrative support. 

WEC effectively operationalizes partners' agendas with global approaches, as well as regional and country specific activities focused on climate action, protection and conservation of the environment. Partners profit from WEC’s ability to operationalize and/or scale up their important substantive agendas, including in support of key multilateral environmental and climate agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, the Cartagena Convention as well as the Sustainable Development Goals. 

The NDC Partnership: 

The NDC Partnership is a global coalition of countries and institutions collaborating to drive transformational climate action through sustainable development. In 2015, the world endorsed the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Nations signal their commitments to the Paris Agreement through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - each country’s strategy to cut its own greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience against the negative effects of a changing climate. The Partnership advances the goals of the Paris Agreement by bringing together nearly 200 countries and institutions in new ways to accelerate NDC implementation and enhance ambition over time. The Partnership’s work through 120 partners supporting almost 80 countries produces many examples of impact, lessons learned and ideas for the future. The Partnership is governed by a Steering Committee, co-chaired by two country representatives. The Partnership’s work is facilitated by a Support Unit based at World Resources Institute in Washington DC and the UNFCCC Secretariat in Bonn, Germany. UNOPS supports the NDC Partnership and its Support Unit through the Water, Environment and Climate (WEC).

Country Context

Kenya is experiencing devastating impacts of climate change that are negatively impacting the economy, well-being of the people and causing environmental disruptions. Kenya submitted its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat December 2020, targeting 32% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to the BAU scenario (143 MtCO2eq). The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry was created under Executive Order No. 1 of 2023 in the Organization of Government of Kenya. This Ministry is mandated to undertake to protect and conserve the natural environment, to control pollution, restore and protect water towers and wetlands and to develop policies in line with forestry development and management and climate change action. 

To implement the NDC, the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry (MoECCF) has established initiatives under the National Climate Change Action Plan III (NCCAP) 2023-2027 and Long-Term low green-house gas Emissions Strategy (LT-LEDS) to achieve the Paris agreement targets. The Department of Environment and Climate Change is spearheading partner and stakeholder coordination for resource mobilization to achieve the Country’s ambitious targets on climate action. The recent inauguration of the Africa Climate Change Summit and the amended Climate Change Act 2023 has proven the Ministry’s commitments towards continued climate action. With much work arising from the various aforementioned programs and initiatives the Ministry is requesting additional support for technical advisory and administrative services in the office of the Principal Secretary, Department of Environment and Climate Change.
