JOB DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND:

UNOPS hosts Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Secretariat/Programme in Vienna, Austria. Working with leaders in government, the private sector and civil society to drive further, faster action toward achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), which calls for universal access to sustainable energy by 2030, and the Paris Agreement, which calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate warming to below 2° Celsius. Achieving these goals will require a radical rethink of the way we produce, distribute, and consume energy. SEforALL is at the heart of this foundational shift to ensure no one is left behind. Drawing on data and evidence, we identify a critical path to success in achieving SDG7.

Launched in 2011 by the Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. SEforALL maintains close links with the UN, including through a relationship agreement, partnerships with UN agencies and with SEforALL”s CEO acting as the UN Secretary-General”s Special Representative for Sustainable Energy for All and Co-Chair of UN-Energy. These roles include advising the UN Secretary General and his staff on issues relating to sustainable energy and the implementation of SDG7 and supporting the coordination of sustainable energy issues in the United Nations system.

The ambitions of SDG7 are extraordinary. Aiming to achieve them in the context of the Paris Agreement on climate change involves transformation at a scale never undertaken before. Swift action must be taken by leaders in governments, private sector companies, institutions, financiers, development banks, unions, communities, entrepreneurs, and civil society. As we enter the final decade to achieve SDG7, SEforALL has strategically chosen to strengthen global agenda-setting while expanding its activities to an engagement model that prioritizes data-driven decision-making, partnerships with high-impact countries and implementation on the ground.

This position is located within the SEforALL Intelligence Unit to support cross-organizational and programmatic efforts that benefit from energy intelligence. The SEforALL Intelligence Unit’s mission includes to support data-driven decision-making for communications, fundraising and to drive more effective programme and project level solutions through energy information (data, analysis, visualizations and story-telling), energy tools (analytic tools, databases and software) and energy planning (energy modeling, outlooks, roadmaps, and energy & investment plans).
