The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners' peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world. Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement, and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors, and United Nations organizations. With over 8,000 personnel spread across 80 countries, UNOPS offers its partners the logistical, technical, and management knowledge they need, where they need it. By implementing around 1,000 projects for our partners at any given time, UNOPS makes significant contributions to results on the ground, often in the most challenging environments.
The UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC) was established in March 2022 to ensure the preservation and continuation of the experience and capacity established through a 30-year working relationship between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Danish Technical University, and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, known as the UNEP-DTU Partnership. UNEP-CCC is programmatically guided by UNEP and operationally supported by UNOPS.
UNEP-CCC is a leading international advisory organization on energy, climate, and sustainable development. Its work focuses on assisting developing countries and emerging economies in transitioning towards low-carbon, climate-resilient development pathways and supports the integration of climate action into national development. UNEP-CCC is actively implementing UNEP’s Climate Change Strategy and Energy Programme by delivering technical assistance and policy advice to developing countries and emerging markets in the context of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Business Models and Finance (BMF) section is one of five sections at UNEP-CCC. BMF seeks to support developing and emerging economies by assisting upstream, early-stage investment opportunities identification, conducting technical and financial pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, as well delivering policy advice and capacity building on enabling frameworks. It also develops financial architecture concepts for implementation and replication, all of them to bridge the existing gaps preventing or slowing down green investment in energy sustainability in countries and cities. The section has a strong technical focus on promoting energy efficiency and is working directly with the private and public sectors, and financial institutions.
