Job Purpose and Organizational Context Climate change is one of the largest challenges Indonesia is facing in the coming decades, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. Indonesia is a significant emitter of greenhouse gasses and reducing emissions will not only have a global impact but will also provide opportunities to strengthen ongoing efforts to protect Indonesia’s vast biodiversity. Indonesia also needs to rapidly adapt to climate change as it is already experiencing the impacts. The country will need to find ways to stimulate resource efficiency in the economy, in particular through technology and innovation. This therefore requires comprehensive sustainable development strategies that prioritize climate change mitigation and adaption, use of renewable energies, energy and resource efficiency, and more sustainable production and consumption practices. The Indonesian Government has taken a number of steps to move the country in this direction. Presidential Regulation No. 61/2011 puts in place a National Action Plan on Greenhouse Gases Emissions Reduction (RAN-GRK) to back up Indonesia’s commitment to make voluntary reductions to its Greenhouse Gases Emissions by 26% against a business-as-usual scenario using domestic resources, and reaching up to 41% with international support by the year 2020. In parallel to the RAN-GRK, the Government of Indonesia also launched the RAN API which sets out a national adaptation action plan for the country in 2014. Other actions include a national moratorium on forests licenses and concessions, passage of Feed-In-Tariffs to provide incentives for investments in certain renewable energies, the establishment of the Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund. In line with the government’s priorities, UNDP’s programme portfolio provides support on renewable energy, energy efficiency, access to energy, REDD+, phase-out of ozone depleting substances with high global warming potential, Green Economy modelling, climate change expenditure review, and climate change adaptation, among others. In order to manage this programme portfolio and provide strategic policy and technical advisory support to the Government, UNDP Indonesia Country Office is seeking to recruit a qualified Junior Professional Officer for Climate Change related issues. The JPO will primarily focus on climate change, climate finance, and renewable energy promotion issues and will assist the office and Environment Unit in managing and monitoring developments of existing projects, proactively engage in programming, mobilizing funding, M&E and backstopping the Government in implementing relevant UNDP projects.

Background Information Information on the receiving office: With an over 80,000 km long coastline and 17,000 islands, many people in Indonesia are depending on climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture, forestry and coastal community economies. Consequently, Indonesia is especially vulnerable to climate change, with the severe impacts of a changing climate already being felt in various parts of the country. Unreasonably, it is the poor and vulnerable communities that are being hardest hit by the changing climate. As a result, climate change is directly threatening Indonesia’s recent achievements on poverty reduction and other Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Living conditions at the Duty Station: Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world extending some 2,000 kilometres from North to South and more than 5,000 kilometres from East to West. The archipelago stretches over more than one-tenth of the Equator between Southeast Asia and Australia. The largest islands are the Kalimantan provinces on Borneo, Sumatra, Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Sulawesi and Java (where Jakarta is located). About 6,000 islands are inhabited with Java accounting for more than half the nation's population. Nearly 60 percent of Indonesia's land is forested and a significant portion is mountainous and volcanic. The climate is mostly equatorial. The temperature ranges between 16-35 degrees Celsius (61-91 degrees F) with humidity ranging from 60-90 percent. There are two seasons, the rainy monsoon season which usually lasts from November through May, followed by the dry season which usually lasts from June through October. Rainfall varies throughout Indonesia, averaging 706 mm (28 inches) yearly.
