UNDP on the ground in more than 170 countries provides a global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations. Across Asia and the Pacific, UNDP helps countries build and share their own solutions to urgent development challenges, supporting coalitions for change and connecting individuals and institutions so they can share knowledge, experience, and resources.

The climate crisis has exacerbated inequalities and is one of the most pressing challenges of our time with grave effects for people’s human rights. The global nature of the crisis has meant impacts for everyone, but has greater impacts for some regions, countries and communities more than others. The Asia-Pacific region has been noted as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, the impacts of which are predicted to worsen over the coming years. The increased frequency of climate events attributable to climate change will further stress different aspects of political, social and economic systems with direct impacts on the human rights of affected peoples. Young people today are more likely to face a worsening climate in their lifetimes, which has an impact on the enjoyments of their rights. 

In the recent past, we are witnessing increased interest, engagement, and activism by young people towards the climate agenda. Through climate strikes, young people call for governments and other relevant stakeholders to take collective actions on climate change. With this context in mind, it is important to engage the voices of young people and identify actionable initiatives to lay the foundation for ambitious climate actions. Meanwhile, governments are also increasing their climate ambitions and programmes to engage and empower youth during these processes. Young people, with the impetus of the recognition of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, are standing up for the rights of present and future generations to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, and other human rights affected by the planetary crises.

With this context, Regional Youth Empowerment Portfolio intends to engage a Communications Analyst to develop and implement communications campaigns and activities to support youth empowerment in climate action, climate governance and leaving no youth behind.

The YECAP Communications Analyst will report to the Regional Youth and Civil Society Specialist with close collaboration with BRH Programme Management Unit and with the Global Policy Network, UNDP country offices, and other key parties. The success of the project depends on the timely delivery of each component. The Project Manager should ensure timely identification of potential risks and signal any delays in deliverables.
