The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global authority that sets the global 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. Under its Western Balkan portfolio, it facilitates the implementation and execution of numerous projects pertaining to climate change, biodiversity protection, land degradation and other environmental related aspects. The consultant will be engaged for the purposes of the GEF7 project implemented in North Macedonia titled “Biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management and sustainable tourism development in North Macedonia”, executed with support from UNEP Vienna Programme Office. The main goal of the project is to reduce the effects of land degradation and land use pressures on natural resources in the mountain landscapes and, to support national and local stakeholders in the Shar Mountains of North Macedonia to develop and apply an Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) approach and thereby demonstrate in a pilot landscape the achievement of land degradation neutrality and biodiversity objectives in synergy with more secure and sustainable local livelihoods i.e. demonstrate the benefits of achieving synergies between biodiversity, SLM and Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) and rural development efforts, preserving the land resource base by ensuring no net loss of healthy and productive land, and learn the lessons crucial for scaling up such approaches nationally.
