Our Team

Our team is made up of a network of global experts, regional coordinators and national project teams, with strong leadership from UNDP’s country offices who work directly with government focal points in each of our programme countries. Building on UNDP’s country knowledge and expertise, we provide services that are tailored to local needs.

This infrastructure, supported by UNDP’s Climate Promise, uniquely links global and regional climate diplomacy and thought leadership with climate action and sustainable development at the national and local levels.

In addition, UNDP’s Climate Promise draws on a diverse group of specialists from across the organization to provide cross-cutting support on climate change. Our experts deliver support through five main thematic pillars: adaptation, mitigation, carbon markets, forests and policy. Harnessing the full capacity of UNDP, we work with countries on strengthening local capacities to define and achieve the national climate and development targets outlined in the NDCs.
