About Palladium
Palladium is a global company working to design, develop, and deliver positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of people around the globe; broaden access to health, water, power, and infrastructure; build enduring, sustainable, and transformative institutions and market systems to address global challenges; and conserve the natural world. We operate in over 90 countries and have a workforce of 4,000 talented, motivated, and diverse staff of all religions, races, languages, and gender identities.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities
The UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme aims to improve the effectiveness of key institutions (public, private, and civil society) in partner countries so that they can deliver accelerated emission reductions and raise the ambition of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) targets. Through its focus on NDCs, the programme supports the UK’s COP26 efforts that aim to review NDC commitments and strengthen ambition.
As part of our work in Peru, we are seeking a Climate Policy Advisor to work closely with the Ministry of Environment (MINAM) and the JDI Secretariat to advise on the implementation of REDD+ policies and strategies.
The Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) was signed in 2014 by the Governments of Norway, Germany, and Peru, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through deforestation and forest degradation while fostering sustainable development in Peru. In 2021, an addendum expanded the JDI partnership, including the United Kingdom and the United States. The updated implementation plan for the period 2021-2025 is currently underway, with the Global Operational Plan 2024-2025 in progress.
The successful candidate will support efforts to achieve results-based payments under the JDI implementation plan and strengthen multi-sectoral engagement in the climate change agenda. This role is vital to advancing Peru’s progress in REDD+ implementation, with an emphasis on enhancing governance, coordinating across various ministries, and fostering stakeholder collaboration.
This is a 6-month contract, with potential for renewal. The estimated start date is December 2024, depending on candidate availability. The time will be split between working with MINAM, the British Embassy in Lima, and the JDI Secretariat. The successful candidate must be based in Lima, Peru, and be prepared to travel as needed.
Key Responsibilities
Strengthening JDI Governance
- Promote effective governance for the implementation of REDD+ pillars in line with the JDI framework.
- Facilitate collaboration between relevant ministries and agencies, such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), and the Ministry of Agriculture (MIDAGRI), ensuring coordinated REDD+ policy implementation.
- Develop and maintain mechanisms for inter-ministerial cooperation and the effective participation of multiple government stakeholders in REDD+ and climate policies.
- Lead dialogue with Amazonian sub-national governments to integrate their initiatives within the JDI framework.
- Coordinate between MINAM, Profonanpe, and the UN-REDD+ Programme to harmonise REDD+ activities and outcomes.
Enhancing REDD+ Framework and Stakeholder Participation
- Support the elaboration and submission of the REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard (TREES) registration document to the ART Secretariat.
- Contribute to the development and dissemination of the RENAMI (National Registry of GHG Mitigation Measures) application guidelines among stakeholders, including government, private sector, and civil society.
- Facilitate and promote site visits to JDI interventions to assess safeguards and progress in implementation.
- Engage with various stakeholders, including local and Indigenous communities, NGOs, government agencies, and the private sector, to foster collaboration and build support for REDD+ activities.
- Raise awareness and ensure active participation from stakeholders in the REDD+ implementation process, particularly regarding the nesting process in Peru.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Environmental Science, Climate Policy, Forestry Engineering, Public Policy, Social Sciences, or related fields.
- Strong experience working in the Amazon region, particularly on deforestation and climate-related issues.
- Extensive experience in measuring, reporting, and verifying GHG emissions reductions and removals or in REDD+ activities.
Proven experience in multi-stakeholder engagement and capacity-building processes.
-
In-depth knowledge of the JDI, its implementation plan, financial mechanisms, and REDD+ activities.
-
- Strong understanding of the political and technical dynamics in the Amazon region concerning climate change and forest governance.
- Ability to lead complex stakeholder processes and build consensus across diverse groups.
- Fluency in Spanish and English.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and interested candidates are encouraged to submit their CVs via the portal as early as possible.
Our company provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetics.
