Result of Service The Consultant's ultimate result of services will be to collect, processing and analysis of information from users of the HC-Peru tool for the generation of inputs required for the update of its Operational Guide, Technical User Manual, and other documents related to the use of the HC-Peru tool, supporting the Ministry of the Environment of Peru in the update process of the HC Peru program. Work Location Home-based Expected duration Part-time / 6 months Duties and Responsibilities 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. 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 & InvestProject - 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. In this sense, UNEP is recruiting a Support Professional for the HC Peru Program to support the work of the Ministry of Environment. This support will consist in the collection, processing and analysis of information from users of the HC-Peru tool for the generation of inputs required for the update of the HC Peru program and the documents related to the use of the HC-Peru tool. The purpose is to promote the use of the Carbon Footprint quantification platform in the country and to support the identification of mitigation actions that contribute to the implementation and scaling up of Peru's updated NDC. The consultant will be supervised by UNEP's NDC Act & Invest Global Coordinator and will work in a hybrid model, enabling the specialist to work remotely while participating in in-person activities such as meetings and stakeholder engagements as required, at the Ministry of Environment located in Peru. 1.

Through collaboration with diverse stakeholders, ongoing projects, and a multifaceted approach, the Initiative seeks to accelerate market transformation towards a circular economy of plastics. Plastic Reboot is the GEF-8 Integrated Programme on Circular Solutions to Plastic Pollution, jointly led by UNEP and WWF-US. Bringing together 15 national projects and a global platform, the Programme advances upstream and midstream solutions across the plastics value chain, from enabling policy shifts to driving business model innovation. It aims to help countries transition towards a circular economy. To support the Global Project's implementation, UNEP is recruiting a Gender and Just Transition Consultant. The role will lead the update of the Programme's gender action plan. - Ensure gender-responsiveness in project knowledge and communication products - Ensure gender coordination and strengthen capacity of the 15 IP country project gender focal points.

Result of Service The Consultant's ultimate result of services will be to improve the Carbon Footprint Peru Program (HC-Peru), enabling the update of its Operational Guide, Technical User Manual, and other documents related to the use of the HC-Peru tool, promoting the use of the Carbon Footprint quantification platform in the country and to support the identification of mitigation actions that contribute to the implementation and scaling up of Peru's updated NDC. Work Location Home-based Expected duration Part-time / 8 months Duties and Responsibilities 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. 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 & InvestProject - 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. In this sense, UNEP is recruiting a Technical Advisor on Voluntary Carbon Footprint Programs for Peru to support the work of the Ministry of Environment. This support will consist of technical assistance to improve the Carbon Footprint Peru Program (HC-Peru), enabling the update of its Operational Guide, Technical User Manual, and other documents related to the use of the HC-Peru tool. The purpose is to promote the use of the Carbon Footprint quantification platform in the country and to support the identification of mitigation actions that contribute to the implementation and scaling up of Peru's updated NDC. The consultant will be supervised by UNEP's NDC Act & Invest Global Coordinator and will work from home, and if possible participating in-person activities such as meetings and stakeholder engagements as required, at the Ministry of Environment located in Peru. 1.
