- Background The main mandate of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is to promote sustainable development of human settlements and policies conducive to adequate housing for all. Within this framework, UN-Habitat supports central and state governments, as well as local authorities and other partners for the implementation of the Habitat Agenda, the 2030 Agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda. UN-Habitat helps the urban poor by transforming cities into safer, more inclusive, compact, integrated, resilient and connected places with better opportunities where everyone can live with dignity. It works with organizations at every level, including all spheres of government, civil society, and the private sector to help build, manage, plan and finance sustainable urban development. The Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean - ROLAC - is based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The agency focuses on developing and managing activities in the host country. In recent years, UN-Habitat has expanded its portfolio in Brazil, working with the three levels of government to support the formulation and implementation of more effective, sustainable, participatory and equitable urban economic, social and environmental policies. In this context, "Inclusive and Sustainable Rio" is a project between UN-Habitat and the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - GERJ), through the Undersecretariat of Water Resources and Environmental Sustainability (Subsecretaria de Recursos Hídricos e Sustentabilidade Ambiental), which aims to strengthen urban resilience in the State of Rio de Janeiro, based on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the principles of the New Urban Agenda. The project will help the State to achieve urban prosperity, while implementing global sustainable urban development agendas. Specifically, the proposal focuses on: expanding the commitment of the State's direct and indirect administration to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), complementing the Fluminense Government's global call to action - Rio2030, and establishing a culture of sustainability in the State of Rio de Janeiro that contributes to increasing urban resilience through the development of disaster prevention and mitigation policies and the engagement of local youth. Therefore, we are looking for an Environmental Educator to work on the Inclusive and Sustainable Rio project in its product to mobilize the city of Petrópolis and its citizens towards non-structural actions to reduce disaster risks in the city.
