The ultimate objective of the services is to build net zero institutional capacity for the financial services sector in North America and support banks and other financial institutions in the design and implementation of their climate mitigation journey. With that objective, the consultant will work directly with the UNEP FI climate and regional teams to conduct regional / country analysis of existing net zero capabilities to identify gaps and opportunities, scope and prioritize regional and country-specific net zero capacity-building needs, and plan and facilitate the delivery of net zero capacity-building activities by engaging and leveraging the capabilities of relevant UNEP FI and other strategic partners’ teams in line with the regional and country-specific capacity-building plan. The consultant will work closely with UNEP FI’s global Climate Team, Banking Team and the North America Regional Lead as well as other strategic partners.
