The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.
Its integrated model links policy development, project preparation, and investment mobilization to turn green growth strategies into tangible results aligned with national climate and development priorities. GGGI’s work focuses on renewable energy, sustainable finance, green cities, and natural capital management, contributing to ecosystem conservation, improved livelihoods, and resilience for vulnerable communities.
In Peru, GGGI supports the government in strengthening climate and biodiversity policies and integrating sustainability into economic planning. Despite strong commitments, the country’s greenhouse gas emissions (excluding LULUCF) nearly doubled between 1990 and 2021, and Peru remains highly vulnerable to water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation.
To address these challenges, GGGI collaborates with public institutions, multilateral partners, and the private sector on programs in Green Finance, Sustainable Forests, Climate-Resilient Agriculture, and Biodiversity Management and Adaptation, including the National Green Finance Roadmap.
GGGI’s work in Peru has mobilized US$27.9 million in green investments, produced 25 advisory and 6 knowledge products, and trained over 560 participants. Through initiatives such as the UK PACT-funded “Accelerating Biodiversity Conservation in the Peruvian Amazon” project, GGGI is advancing sustainable finance frameworks and building the capacity of public and private actors to integrate nature-related risks and opportunities into decision-making, supporting Peru’s path toward an inclusive and resilient green economy.
"Accelerating Biodiversity Conservation in the Peruvian Amazon: Innovative and Inclusive Financial Mechanisms for a Peru (ABCPA)" is a 2-year technical assistance program that GGGI is implementing for the Peruvian government in partnership with the Ministry of Environment (MINAM), Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), and other pertinent public entities, including National Service of Natural Protected Areas by the State (SERNANP). The program -which is supported by the Amazon Regional Fund (ARF), an arm of the UK's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) initiative, which is a part of the UK's International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio- aims to play a key role in implementing the nation's National Strategy for Biological Diversity (NBSAP), which outlines strategic measures and actions to accelerate the implementation of international environmental finance, biodiversity finance frameworks, and private sector investments in biodiversity projects and initiatives in Peru.
The project addresses critical barriers to biodiversity conservation in Peru by establishing the financial and institutional frameworks and conditions necessary for the sustainable management of the country’s biodiversity. Peru's biodiversity is under significant threat due to a lack of cohesive financial mechanisms and frameworks for effective biodiversity conservation. To overcome these challenges, the project aims to strengthen the alignment between Peru’s financial architecture and the country’s biodiversity need by designing and implementing innovative and inclusive financial mechanisms, such as biodiversity bonds, and habitat banks.
The project also addresses the inequitable access to financial resources and decision-making among vulnerable populations; by fostering a paradigm shift that recognizes including women, indigenous communities, and rural populations as key stewards of ecosystems and ensures they are fairly compensated for their conservation efforts.
Key expected outcomes include increased financial flows toward biodiversity conservation, strengthened institutional frameworks, and a more equitable distribution of social and economic benefits. By 2027, the project will have mobilized USD 500 million toward the sustainable management of 300,000 hectares of forests, providing a sustainable foundation for biodiversity conservation and climate resilience, directly benefiting the livelihoods of 500,000 people and contributing to the mitigation of up to 0.7 M tCO2e.
The project adopts a collaborative, government-led approach to establish the enabling conditions needed to overcome barriers to biodiversity conservation. This will be achieved through: (OU1) the development and delivery of training to public and private actors — including those in the financial sector and the real economy — on nature-related financial risks, disclosures, and the design of innovative and inclusive biodiversity finance mechanisms and instruments; (OU2) technical advisory support to the Ministry of Environment to integrate and operationalize biodiversity conservation categories in MERESE; (OU3) the design and piloting of a “Habitat Bank” mechanism; and (OU4) technical assistance to the Ministry of Economy and Finance to integrate biodiversity conservation into Peru’s Sovereign Sustainability Bond Frameworks.
All components will be complemented by a Gender, Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI)-responsive implementation strategy.
In order to accomplish the project's goals, GGGI is seeking a consultant to support the development and delivery of training for public and private actors — including financial sector and real economy institutions — to align with environmental disclosure standards, particularly the TNFD framework. This will be done by assisting in the integration of nature-related risk and opportunity management practices, and by developing internal awareness and technical understanding of the TNFD’s four disclosure pillars — Governance, Strategy, Risk and Impact Management, and Metrics and Targets. Working closely with GGGI and key participants, the consultant will review, help, and update the design of capacity-building programs and participate in educational activities.
The consultant will be a project team member and will be in charge of making sure that training programs on environmental disclosure methodologies and recommendations are well-designed and provided to all of the target groups. In addition, he or she will guide key participants in the practical application of the training program's content. The primary goal of this process is to achieve OU1, in particular.
The individual consultant will work part-time, approximately 2–3 days per week from January 5th to September 30th, 2026, distributed non-consecutively throughout the assignment period. The Consultant is expected to work in close coordination with the Project Manager. In performing their duties, the Consultant shall ensure:
