Auto-ApplyLegal Specialist, Performance-Based Climate Finance Legal Templates (Home-Based)
Remote foreign law consultant job
Background
Office/Unit/Project Description
The Office of Legal Services (OLS) is part of the Bureau for Management Services (BMS) and is the exclusive source of legal advice to the Administrator and all UNDP business units. The legal services provided by BMS/OLS guide organizational priority-setting and decision-making within UNDP's mission, as well as the overall framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and UNDP's Strategic Plan.
BMS/OLS support the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) with the development of relevant policy and legal instruments and agreements required for the implementation of UNDP projects and programmes. The BBPS Climate Hub is the arrowhead of UNDP's commitment to the “Climate Promise” that aims to support programming countries designing and implementing pledges under the Paris Agreement, including ambitious National Determined Contributions, with climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions fully embedded in the national development planning and budgetary processes.
As a Green Climate Fund (GCF) Accredited Entity (AE), UNDP can assist interested countries in filling gaps towards securing eligibility, developing Funding Proposals (FPs), and implementing REDD+ Results-Based Payment (RBP) projects. The Climate, Forest, and Land pillar of BPPS´s Climate Hub hosts the team that is managing the REDD+ portfolio with the GCF, including RBP projects from the Pilot Programme, in close coordination with the Vertical Fund Programme, Support, Oversight, and Compliance Hub. The GCF Board meeting 40
th
(B40), approved in Oct 2024 a new Policy to finance REDD+ RBPs. As of December 2024, 19 countries reported REDD+ results to the UNFCCC under the GCF eligible results period. These countries can complete eligibility in the immediate and short terms. Five of those countries have presented a formal request to UNDP to play the role of accredited entity for new RBPs projects. UNDP will utlize the Performance-Based Payment Agreement (PBPA) modality to achieve quick delivery at scale.
Another important source of performance-based climate finance are the emerging carbon markets (including both, jurisictional/national Volunctary Carbon Markets - VCM schemmes, as well as cooperative approaches established under Aritcle 6 of the UNFCCC´s Paris Agreement). Recognizing the relevant role that carbon markets can play to contribute achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, the need to ensure high integrity in carbon market transactions, and to respond to the demand of countries and financiers to participate in carbon markets, UNDP developed the High Integrity Carbon Markets initiative (HICM). Two offers under HICM (namely, playing the role of Financial Intermediary of carbon market transactions under the LEAF Coallition and facilitating transactions under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement) will benefit of using UNDP´s PBP instrument, as well as adjusting other instruments, e.g. Development Services Agreements (DSA), to formalize the institutional framework to operationalize the initiative.
In this context, BMS/OLS, in close collaboration with BPPS´ Climate Hub, through the Climate, Forest, and Land (C&F) team, is seeking legal expert services to support BMS/OLS in the update and adjustment of the DSA and the PBPA templates and the review of related policies to make them fit for the implementation of performance-based climate finance projects/programmes.
Scope of Work
The Legal Specialist will support the Senior Legal Advisor, Head of the Programmes and Projects Team at BMS/OLS, in the following areas:
Update the Performance Based Payment Agreement (PBPA) template to, among other things:
Reflect policy changes since the issuance of the template;
Ensure that donor conditionalities are properly reflected;
Make them fit for the implementation of climate performance-based financing.
Updating the PBPA template to separate one with working capital reimbursements (WCR) and the other without WCR; and
Updating the annexes.
Update the Development Services Agreement (DSA) template to, among other things:
Reflect policy changes since the issuance of the template; and
Make them fit for the implementation of climate performance-based financing, among others by preparing two updated DSA templates, one for the event in which the recipient and the financer of the services are the same entity and another for the event in which the financer of the services and the recipient are not the same entity.
Review the policy changes proposed by BPPS to the PBP Policy, the DSA Policy and other relevant UNDP policies and the instruments, guidelines and procedures developed under such policies in order implement climate performance-based financing projects, including providing legal feedback, preparing mark-ups, drafting email advice, and participating in meetings.
Liaise with the different internal departments in UNDP to obtain input and feedback to the templates and policies.
Other support that the Senior Legal Advisor may require in connection with the matters covered in this TORs including preparing mark-ups, drafting email advice and participating in meetings.
Institutional Arrangement
The Legal Consultant will report to the Senior Legal Advisor at HQ/BMS/OLS and will work closely with BPPS. The payment approvals will be processed by the Climate and Forest budget holder after approval of the invoice by BMS/OLS.

Legal Specialist, Performance-Based Climate Finance Legal Templates (Home-Based)
Remote foreign law consultant job
Background
Office/Unit/Project Description
The Office of Legal Services (OLS) is part of the Bureau for Management Services (BMS) and is the exclusive source of legal advice to the Administrator and all UNDP business units. The legal services provided by BMS/OLS guide organizational priority-setting and decision-making within UNDP's mission, as well as the overall framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and UNDP's Strategic Plan.
BMS/OLS support the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) with the development of relevant policy and legal instruments and agreements required for the implementation of UNDP projects and programmes. The BBPS Climate Hub is the arrowhead of UNDP's commitment to the “Climate Promise” that aims to support programming countries designing and implementing pledges under the Paris Agreement, including ambitious National Determined Contributions, with climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions fully embedded in the national development planning and budgetary processes.
As a Green Climate Fund (GCF) Accredited Entity (AE), UNDP can assist interested countries in filling gaps towards securing eligibility, developing Funding Proposals (FPs), and implementing REDD+ Results-Based Payment (RBP) projects. The Climate, Forest, and Land pillar of BPPS´s Climate Hub hosts the team that is managing the REDD+ portfolio with the GCF, including RBP projects from the Pilot Programme, in close coordination with the Vertical Fund Programme, Support, Oversight, and Compliance Hub. The GCF Board meeting 40
th
(B40), approved in Oct 2024 a new Policy to finance REDD+ RBPs. As of December 2024, 19 countries reported REDD+ results to the UNFCCC under the GCF eligible results period. These countries can complete eligibility in the immediate and short terms. Five of those countries have presented a formal request to UNDP to play the role of accredited entity for new RBPs projects. UNDP will utlize the Performance-Based Payment Agreement (PBPA) modality to achieve quick delivery at scale.
Another important source of performance-based climate finance are the emerging carbon markets (including both, jurisictional/national Volunctary Carbon Markets - VCM schemmes, as well as cooperative approaches established under Aritcle 6 of the UNFCCC´s Paris Agreement). Recognizing the relevant role that carbon markets can play to contribute achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, the need to ensure high integrity in carbon market transactions, and to respond to the demand of countries and financiers to participate in carbon markets, UNDP developed the High Integrity Carbon Markets initiative (HICM). Two offers under HICM (namely, playing the role of Financial Intermediary of carbon market transactions under the LEAF Coallition and facilitating transactions under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement) will benefit of using UNDP´s PBP instrument, as well as adjusting other instruments, e.g. Development Services Agreements (DSA), to formalize the institutional framework to operationalize the initiative.
In this context, BMS/OLS, in close collaboration with BPPS´ Climate Hub, through the Climate, Forest, and Land (C&F) team, is seeking legal expert services to support BMS/OLS in the update and adjustment of the DSA and the PBPA templates and the review of related policies to make them fit for the implementation of performance-based climate finance projects/programmes.
Scope of Work
The Legal Specialist will support the Senior Legal Advisor, Head of the Programmes and Projects Team at BMS/OLS, in the following areas:
Update the Performance Based Payment Agreement (PBPA) template to, among other things:
Reflect policy changes since the issuance of the template;
Ensure that donor conditionalities are properly reflected;
Make them fit for the implementation of climate performance-based financing.
Updating the PBPA template to separate one with working capital reimbursements (WCR) and the other without WCR; and
Updating the annexes.
Update the Development Services Agreement (DSA) template to, among other things:
Reflect policy changes since the issuance of the template; and
Make them fit for the implementation of climate performance-based financing, among others by preparing two updated DSA templates, one for the event in which the recipient and the financer of the services are the same entity and another for the event in which the financer of the services and the recipient are not the same entity.
Review the policy changes proposed by BPPS to the PBP Policy, the DSA Policy and other relevant UNDP policies and the instruments, guidelines and procedures developed under such policies in order implement climate performance-based financing projects, including providing legal feedback, preparing mark-ups, drafting email advice, and participating in meetings.
Liaise with the different internal departments in UNDP to obtain input and feedback to the templates and policies.
Other support that the Senior Legal Advisor may require in connection with the matters covered in this TORs including preparing mark-ups, drafting email advice and participating in meetings.
Institutional Arrangement
The Legal Consultant will report to the Senior Legal Advisor at HQ/BMS/OLS and will work closely with BPPS. The payment approvals will be processed by the Climate and Forest budget holder after approval of the invoice by BMS/OLS.
