Background
The Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world, mostly from climate change impacts. The country has enunciated policies and programmes to reduce these risks, among others the finalization of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the Philippines Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP). It has also institutionalized a climate budget tagging process for all agencies and developed tools and mechanisms to mainstream climate change and vulnerability assessments in various levels of programming. However, to achieve the desired transformation, funding would be needed not only from government but from private sector as well. Business decisions and investment priorities should be aligned with the country’s ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve adaptation of communities to protect people, assets and communities at risk. The government has been at the forefront of this initiative through several policy measures. These include, the Central Bank’s Sustainable Finance Framework, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Guidelines on Environmental, social and Governance reporting, and more recently, the Sustainable Finance Roadmap issues by the Interagency Task Force on Sustainable Finance, led by the Department of Finance.
In order to support the initiatives on increasing public and private sector investments towards mitigating impacts of climate change and improving resilience of national and local government agencies and communities, UNDP is undertaking a regional project, the Climate Finance Network. Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office of the Government of the United Kingdom, the Climate Finance Network (CFN) will serve as a peer-to-peer network and as a knowledge management and technical support facility to support Ministries of Finance with the engagement of sector ministries and sub-national governments to identify and scale up climate finance innovations in the region. In collaboration with stakeholders and partners the CFN will harness the momentum in climate finance reforms in ways that will allow knowledge to be shared in real-time across countries to facilitate acceleration and adoption/replication of climate budget planning and finance across governments as well as mobilization of public, private and blended climate finance.
The CFN will work across on six inter-related workstreams which are based on UNDP’s climate change finance programming experience over the past five years and lessons learnt during the inception phase of the CFN: 1) Climate change aligned budgeting and planning; 2) Direct access to international climate change finance; 3) Tax and use of innovative climate change financing instruments; 4) Gender and social inclusion and climate change finance; and 5) Transparency and accountability of climate change finance; and 6) Modelling climate change impacts on economic growth, sectors and consideration of distributional impacts. Across the mentioned six workstreams, the project will aim to achieve the following outputs, factoring in the importance of realizing positive impacts for gender equality, poverty and human rights in all of the workstreams: 1) Enabling frameworks, systems and tools introduced, strengthened and replicated for accessing and managing accountable climate finance. 2) Governments and other country partners have enhanced capacities for effective governance of climate finance. 3) Regional institutions and knowledge exchanges across the region to contribute to an inclusive and integrated approach for climate change finance. 4) International policy processes to give increasing priority to strengthen and support domestic budget and country systems that enable delivery of gender responsive climate change investments.
Duties And Responsibilities
The Project Analyst will report to the Project Management Specialist of the Climate Finance Network Project for support related with these Projects and to the Programme Analyst and Team Leader for other UNDP CO-related support.
