Work Location Bangkok, Thailand Expected duration 7 months from 21 September 2026 to 20 April 2027 Duties and Responsibilities 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 & Invest Initiative is a global programme led by UNEP and currently funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and the NDC Partnership’s Partnership Action Fund (PAF) multi-donor trust fund. It is designed to help countries raise their climate ambition and translate their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted in 2025 into actionable, investable plans. Thailand’s NDC 3.0 supports the country’s revised Net Zero 2050 target and is aligned with its Climate Finance Strategy, with agriculture identified as one of six priority sectors. Agriculture is expected to deliver 7.6 MtCO2e of the 109.2 MtCO2e targeted reductions by 2035, with an estimated mitigation potential of 2.58 MtCO2e in 2030-2035 requiring USD 176.7 million in investment. Priority measures include improved rice cultivation, livestock feed, manure management and biogas. Livestock is particularly relevant for methane mitigation, but adoption of available solutions remains constrained by financial, technological and policy barriers. In particular, NDC Act & Invest will support the Government of Thailand in turning livestock methane mitigation priorities into investable solutions. The work will assess available technologies, market opportunities and financing options, with a focus on dairy manure management, feed additives and biogas, and use these findings to identify priority pilot projects and develop a methane abatement programme, including a dedicated investment plan. The project will also help structure viable business models, identify blended finance and public-private investment opportunities, connect projects with potential financiers and donors, and engage key government, private-sector and research stakeholders to support implementation and scale-up. In this context, UNEP’s NDC Act & Invest Initiative is recruiting a Climate Finance Specialist to help identify these barriers, assess the financing landscape, and support the development of investable project pipelines, mobilizing public and private finance. Additionally, the Climate Finance Specialist is expected to propose meetings with relevant national and international stakeholders, based in Thailand throughout the duration of the assignment. The Climate Finance Specialist will work closely with the Department of Climate Change and Environment (DCCE) and the Department of Livestock Development (DLD), as well as a broad range of Thai and international stakeholders, including: public institutions, private-sector associations, national and international financial institutions
