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.
