Main purpose of job:
The successful applicant will play a key role in delivering against the UK government’s climate and nature priorities in Peru by guiding our strategy to scale up innovative anchor bio-business models that keep the forest standing and benefit Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC), integrating Amazonian products into UK supply chains. The aim is to create economic incentives to halt deforestation in the second largest extension of the Amazon, help Peru accelerate its transition towards a low-carbon, nature-positive economy, and deliver the country’s ambitious Joint Declaration of Intent, Nationally Determined Contributions and National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan – backed by policy reform, multilateral development banks, and global climate and nature funds.
This is an exciting maternity cover within the Embassy’s Climate, Nature and Infrastructure (CNI) section (13 staff), which works towards mobilising flows of accessible, quality climate and nature finance, including clean power investment, and promoting market access for products derived from Amazonian superfruits to keep 1.5C alive and reverse biodiversity loss. Our work is divided into three priority themes: (1) green finance, (2) energy transition, and (3) bio-economy, with policy advocacy and tackling environmental crime as foundation and a gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) approach based on improving access to finance and decision-making for IPLC. We tackle the climate and nature crises not separately from promoting economic growth, but intrinsic to it.
The post holder will shape Peru’s national strategy for the development of the bio-economy as an important pathway for economic diversification. They will strengthen our partnership with Peru’s Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) when it comes to setting a joint vision for the Amazon. An important aspect of the role will be to direct the Embassy in how to align centrally managed programmes and other initiatives to deliver the UK’s strategic objectives related to the bio-economy. They will also seek to showcase success stories and challenges of IPLC accessing finance and markets.
This role will report to the Head of Forests and Climate and will be expected to actively contribute to the Embassy’s broader work on climate and nature, supporting analysis, communications and events.
The post holder will also collaborate closely with other colleagues in the Embassy, UK embassies throughout the Amazon region and officials from the UK’s International Forests Unit and other parts of the British government (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Department for Business and Trade). They will report on developments on the bio-economy in Peru and the region, bringing together the big picture on politics, programming and policy to analyse trends.
Roles and responsibilities:
Strategy Leadership – 50%
Programme Management – 30%
Other – 20%
These responsibilities will be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the changing needs of the organisation. The above is an indicative outline of responsibilities required of the role. The FCDO operates an agile workforce. To facilitate this, you may be required to undertake other duties from time to time as we may reasonably require. This could include engagement on Peru’s OECD accession process (e.g. on corporate governance or agriculture), the management of Ministerial and official visits from the UK related to climate and nature in Peru and/or supporting embassy events.
