Mission and objectives
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in approximately 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequality and exclusion. The program helps countries to developing policies, leadership skills, partnership skills, institutional capacities, and to building resilience to sustainable development results.
UNDP implements several projects in different areas, offering its partners technical, operational and management assistance through access to methodologies, specialized knowledge, specialized advice and a wide international network of technical cooperation.
To contribute to human development, poverty reduction and the country's growth in priority areas, UNDP Brazil has a constant mission to align its services with the needs of a dynamic, multifaceted and diverse country. The projects are carried out in partnership with the Brazilian government, international financial institutions, the private sector and civil society.

Context
The Sustainable Environmental Development Unit (UDAS) of UNDP Brazil works in close coordination with other programme areas to strengthen the environmental portfolio through technical and political support for the formulation, implementation, and monitoring of projects addressing biodiversity, climate change, sustainable production, and the ecological transition.
Within this framework, the Brazil Climate and Ecological Transformation Investment Platform (BIP) is a strategic initiative led by the Government of Brazil through the Ministries of Finance; Development, Industry, Trade and Services; Environment and Climate Change; and Mines and Energy, in partnership with BNDES, Bloomberg Philanthropies, GFANZ, and other international partners.
The Platform aims to mobilize capital for projects that advance Brazil’s ecological transition, focusing on nature-based solutions, the bioeconomy, energy transition, sustainable industry, and mobility. It also fosters public–private collaboration in projects aligned with Brazil’s climate targets and aims to strengthen the country’s leadership and international visibility in climate finance, including in the lead-up to COP30.
This UNV assignment contributes directly to the BIP’s communication and outreach strategy by enhancing institutional visibility, coherence, and design quality across all communication outputs, reinforcing engagement with key stakeholders and partners.
