Context
In UNEP the importance of engaging Major Groups and other Stakeholders as partners and ap-preciates the perspectives they bring to the table, valuable research and advocacy functions they perform and their role in helping foster long-term, broad-based support for UNEP’s mis-sion. Intergovernmental decisions will have stronger and broader recognition and support by the public if governments take Major Groups and other Stakeholders views into account as early as possible in policy-making and decision-making processes. Major Groups and other Stake-holders also play a direct role in the formation of policy as researchers, think-tanks, and watchdogs, or through advocacy. The volunteer will support the Civil Society unit based in the Governance Affairs office through organizing meetings, preparing documents and communicating with non-state actors/ major groups and stakeholders. In the process, the volunteer will develop a strong under-standing of global environmental governance and intergovernmental negotiation processes and participatory processes in environmental policy development and processes. The selected UNV will support the Civil Society Unit in UNEP by assisting in all matters relat-ed to the application of communication and administrative organizational matters. Further-more, the UNV will be in charge for maintaining the unit’s website, supporting the preparation and implementation of virtual meetings, hybrid and in person meetings during UNEA 5.2. and beyond.
