The world is changing rapidly. Prosperity has reached unprecedented levels. But so have our demands on the environment, and so has the gap between rich and poor. Natural resources provide services that sustain our lives and are crucial for economic development and human well-being. Using natural resources sustainably is key to ensuring their availability also for future generations while satisfying the needs of today.

UNEP is looking for dynamic, creative, forward looking, dedicated and results-oriented senior managers, environmental experts with outstanding leadership qualities, a track record of succeeding in a multi-cultural environment, the capacity to bring together and respond to governments, civil society, the private sector and our other partners in creating opportunities and solutions for sustainable development.

This is happening at a moment in time when the United Nations is undergoing reform and when global environmental governance is being redefined.
