The second phase of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Young Talent Pipeline starts on 25 June 2024.

It builds on the efforts of the first phase from 2023 and aims to engage young talented individuals to become future leaders across environment, pollution and climate action.

The UNEP and UNV collaborative collaboration effort aims to accomplish two goals:

to assign the second group of 13 bright young people to tasks associated with UNEP's mandate.
to look for applicants from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Take a look at the assignment opportunities if you're under 33. We specifically encourage women and members of marginalised groups to apply.

The chosen applicants will work out of UNEP's Nairobi, Kenya headquarters.

It is anticipated that assignments will start in November 2024 and run for a full year, with the possibility of an extension.

Young Talent Pipeline recruits for the UN will have access to a variety of online learning programmes as well as learning and professional development opportunities.

Kindly select the UN Volunteer positions from the UNEP UNV Young Talent Pipeline.
