 Job Description
 
 
 
 
 Background
 
 
 
 The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Global Biodiversity Framework Early Action Support (GBF EAS) Project assists developing, middle-income, and small island nations in advancing commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). This includes early action on the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), updates to National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), and national reporting. By connecting policymakers, technical experts, and local actors, the project supports the effective implementation of the GBF and contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
 
 
 As a key component, the Umbrella Programme to Support NBSAP Update and Seventh National Reports provides technical and financial assistance to 139 countries&mdash;encompassing developing nations, small island developing states, and economies in transition. This GEF-funded, Party-led initiative enables countries to revise their NBSAPs in line with the GBF and prepare their Seventh National Reports for submission to the CBD. It is jointly supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the CBD Secretariat, and the GEF Secretariat.
 
 
 Insights gathered from the first two years of GBF implementation have informed a comprehensive support package, tailored to national priorities.
