UNDP Mongolia places particular emphasis on integrated approaches to climate action, environmental sustainability, and inclusive governance. Within this framework, UNDP implements the Climate Adaptation and Sustainable Management of Natural Ecosystems Portfolio, which aims to strengthen climate resilience, promote low-emission development pathways, improve ecosystem management, and enhance institutional, policy, and financing mechanisms at national and subnational levels.\nThe Green and Inclusive Cities in Mongolia Project is a new national initiative implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) with technical and implementation support from UNDP, with the overall goal to support the transition toward integrated, inclusive, low-carbon, and climate-resilient urban development by strengthening urban planning and governance systems, improving cross-sectoral coordination, advancing results-based green budgeting and public finance, piloting inclusive and climate-responsive urban solutions, and enhancing institutional and human capacities at national and municipal levels. The project addresses critical environmental, social, and climate-related challenges arising from rapid urbanization and is implemented in Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan, and Erdenet cities.\nA central pillar of the project is transforming how cities plan, finance, and deliver development - strengthening municipal financial management and expanding access to innovative financing instruments such as blended finance, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and green municipal bonds to mobilize capital for low-carbon heating, clean transportation, flood protection, energy-efficient buildings, sustainable mobility, and ecological restoration. Against this background, the Green Finance Expert will lead the design and roll-out of innovative and sustainable financing solutions and strengthen the capacity of national and municipal institutions and development finance partners to structure, raise, and manage such finance.\nThe project is implemented through a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) under the oversight of a Project National Coordinator and in close coordination with national government and municipal counterparts.\nDuties and Responsibilities\nThe Green Finance Analyst shall report to the National Project Manager (NPM). The incumbent shall work in close collaboration with the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) staff and the Consultants’ Team of the project, and in collaboration with UNDP’s sustainable-finance projects and teams. He/she is expected to liaise, interact, and coordination with other relevant stakeholders at the national and local level, including the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC), Ministry of Economy Development, Ministry of Finance, the UNDP Country Office, development banks and financial-sector partners, and the municipal authorities of Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan, and Erdenet cities.\nScope of Work\nUnder the overall guidance of the National Project Manager (NPM), the Green Finance Analyst is responsible for developing and operationalizing green, urban, and innovative financing solutions for the project and its target cities.
