The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system, and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

Our mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.

Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, we work through our divisions as well as our regional, liaison and out-posted offices and a growing network of collaborating centres of excellence. We also host several environmental conventions, secretariats and inter-agency coordinating bodies. We categorize our work into seven broad thematic areas: climate change, disasters and conflicts, ecosystem management, environmental governance, chemicals and waste, resource efficiency, and environment under review. In all of our work, we maintain our overarching commitment to sustainability.

Headquartered in Brasília since 2004, the office in Brazil is linked to the regional headquarters in Panama. UNEP Brazil's mission is to disseminate, among its partners and to society in general, information on environmental agreements, programs, methodologies and knowledge on relevant environmental issues on the global and regional agenda, in addition to promoting greater participation and contribution of experts and Brazilian institutions in international forums, initiatives and actions.

Under the supervision of the UNEP Brazil Office Representative and in close coordination with UNEP’s Regional Office a.i. and Headquarters communication teams, the Junior Communications Analyst will support the planning, development, and implementation of communication activities aimed at enhancing UNEP’s visibility, promoting environmental awareness, and supporting the dissemination of UNEP’s programmes, initiatives, and results in Brazil and some Portuguese media channels.

A proper communication and dissemination of UNEP’s messages, programmes, initiatives and reports are a key step to achieve the organization purposes. The Junior Communications Analyst will be supervised by the UNEP Brazil Office Representative a.i. and will work remotely in Brazil, from Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week.

Under the supervision of the UNEP Brazil Office Representative a.i and with the support of the UNEP Brazil Office, the tasks and responsibilities of the Junior Communications Analyst will include:
