The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government.
The incumbent will be part of the "Support Project for the Design and Implementation of the New Global Biodiversity Framework" (BioFrame), funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) through the International Climate Initiative (ICI). The project aims to support BMU and key actors from partner countries in the design of the new post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF) and first implementation steps in partner countries.
BioFrame (1) supports partners in the preparation, implementation and follow-up of CBD COP 15, (2) promotes integrated approaches to biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation as well as mutual learning from good practice approaches and linking relevant policy processes, (3) identifies funding instruments and contributes to resource mobilisation for the implementation of the GBF, and (4) raises public awareness of the importance of biodiversity and its relation to climate change. As part of the inclusion of green economic recovery in the project's work package, BioFrame (5) develops a conceptual approach and practical proposals for integrating biodiversity into economic plans and recovery measures in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, supporting ICI projects that provide policy advice on green recovery in partner countries to integrate the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity. Finally, (6) BioFrame raises awareness of the biodiversity-health-green economic recovery nexus among public and private sector decision-makers and other relevant stakeholders in partner countries by supporting the planning and implementation of pilot activities as a lever for broader mainstreaming.
In Indonesia the project is supporting actors in Kapuas Hulu to implement biodiversity- and climate-friendly green recovery measures. The measures aim to provide evidence of the social and economic benefits of the integration of aspects of biodiversity into economic recovery measures in order to inform respective national policies and strategies. Therefore, a multi-level intervention, from the communities, to the provincial, to the national level is needed. The pilot measure to be implemented will focus on the illipe value chain in Kapuas Hulu.
