Lima, Perú Foreign & Commonwealth Office A tiempo completo

Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities) 1

**Main Purpose of Job**:
The successful applicant will play a key role in shaping the UK Government’s work to help protect Peru’s rainforests and develop the country’s bio-economy. This is an exciting position within the Embassy’s expert Climate, Nature and Infrastructure Team and will involve collaborating with national stakeholders as well as UK government officials in London and across Amazon countries. We work in line with the Embassy’s core values: respect, innovation, collaboration, and enjoyment.

The Climate, Nature and Infrastructure Team works towards achieveing a permanent fall in deforestation and biodiversity loss, bedding in sustainable livelihoods and respect for indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) while reducing vulnerability to environmental crime in the Peruvian Amazon. We provide technical and political guidance to programmes managed by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in London, manage a portfolio of projects directly (funded by internal Challenge Funds or the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions - UK PACT programme), offer expertise to the Peruvian government, and engage in policy advocay. The focus is on mitigation activities through halting deforestation in the lowland Amazon, especially in high biodiversity and carbon storage areas, such as peatlands.

Our work is divided into 3 priority themes:
1. Development of bio-businesses to create economic incentives for forest and land users to halt deforestation (e.g. through the commercialisation of bio-business products).

2. To do so at scale, this requires attracting private sector investment into green products and activities (green finance), especially in the forest and land use sector.

3. This in turn depends on improvements in the investment climate, such as better connectivity in the Amazon through “greener, fairer and faster” infrastructure.

There are 2 cross-cutting themes:
1. Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) with a particular focus on IPLCs - ensuring we mainstream their inclusion as active partners in a meaningful way where appropriate.

2. Biodiversity - ensuring that we consider biodiversity in all our forest related work.

We are hiring 2 Forest and Climate Programme and Policy Managers, one more focused on managing programmes/projects and leading on the Embassy’s bio-economy work and the other one more focused on policy advocacy under the Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) - a best-in-class approach on payment for results for reduced deforestation, with Norway, Germany, and the USA as partners. Both roles will report to the Head of the Climate and Forest Portfolio. They will be supported by a Forest Associate (with line management responsibility for one) and administrative Programme Manager.

The job holders will work as part of a 12-person team, which includes green finance, biodiversity and infrastructure leads. The Forest and Climate Programme and Policy Managers will be responsible for driving the UK’s strategic objectives to protect the Peruvian Amazon in the run-up to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the United Nations Climate Change Conferences (COPs) 29 and 30. It will be important to ensure that our longer-term work tackling deforestation in Peru complements diplomatic action to support the successful delivery of post-COP26 commitments (e.g. Forest, Agriculture and Commodity Trade - FACT Dialogue). The policy paper “International Development in a Contested World” will serve as a guide, especially the partnership approach, focus on mobilising private finance, and linking the people, climate and nature agendas.

Building strong relationships and engagement with external stakeholders will be key, including with all levels of government, the private sector, indigenous organisations, civil society, multilaterals, and other international cooperation partners. The job holders will also collaborate closely with other colleagues in the British Embassy in Lima, UK embassies throughout the Amazon region and officials from the UK’s International Forests Unit and other parts of the British government in London, particularly the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

In addition, the roles will contribute to the Embassy’s wider climate and environment agenda, including strategic reporting on developments in the UK, Peru, the region and globally for example related to the bio-economy, bringing together the big picture on politics, programming and policy influencing to analyse trends. Occasional national and international travel will be required.
