COMMUNICATION INTERN SECRETARIAT OF THE 10YFP [Temporary]
Detail de l'annonce :
The 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and
Production Patterns (10YFP), adopted by Heads of State at the United
Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in 2012, is a
global framework for action to accelerate the shift towards
Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in both developed and
developing countries. UNEP was mandated by the UN General Assembly to
serve as the Secretariat of the 10YFP. As reflected in the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development, the 10YFP plays a central role in
achieving the shift to SCP: its implementation is the first target of
Sustainable Development Goal 12 on “Ensuring sustainable consumption
and production”; the 10YFP is also recognized as the Framework of
reference for decoupling economic growth from environmental
degradation in SDG 8. The 10YFP generates impact through
multi-stakeholder programmes and partnerships, which develop,
replicate, and scale up SCP policies and practices at all levels and
which form together the One Planet network (www.oneplanetnetwork.org).

United Nations Considerations
According to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United
Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is
the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency,
competence, and integrity. Candidates will not be considered for
employment with the United Nations if they have committed violations
of international human rights law, violations of international
humanitarian law, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual
harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they
have been involved in the commission of any of these acts. The term
“sexual exploitation” means any actual or attempted abuse of a
position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual
purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily,
socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. The
term “sexual abuse” means the actual or threatened physical
intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or
coercive conditions. The term “sexual harassment” means any
unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that might reasonably be expected
or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation, when such conduct
interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or creates an
intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when the
gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the perpetrator’s
working relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes other than
minor traffic offences may not be considered for employment.
Due regard will be paid to the importance of recruiting the staff on
as wide a geographical basis as possible. The United Nations places no
restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any
capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and
subsidiary organs. The United Nations Secretariat is a non-smoking
environment.
The paramount consideration in the appointment, transfer, or promotion
of staff shall be the necessity of securing the highest standards of
efficiency, competence, and integrity. By accepting an offer of
