**Job summary**:
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is the UK government department responsible for safeguarding our natural environment, supporting our world-leading food and farming industry, sustaining a thriving rural economy, and supporting international nature, climate and biodiversity agendas.

Within Environment Group, the International Biodiversity and Climate Directorate (IBC) is focused on driving a shift to a nature-positive world: reversing biodiversity loss, restoring ecosystems, tackling climate change and contributing to global poverty reduction.

IBC uses international negotiations, Official Development Assistance (ODA) programmes, political engagement, legislation and science to reduce global biodiversity and species loss, and to protect, conserve and restore terrestrial ecosystems. We are an ambitious Directorate that engages confidently with partners across Government and the globe to:

- Negotiate, agree and deliver effective global frameworks for protecting and promoting nature and biodiversity through the UN system and multilateral environment agreements
- Influence partners to transition to nature positive economies with higher ambition Nationally Determined Contributions, National Adaptation Plans and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans
- Provide strategic leadership and active investment to address pressures and threats to biodiversity globally
- Protect endangered plants and animals from the threats of international trade
- Mobilise finance for nature and shift the international finance system to be nature positive and deforestation free
- Move to sustainable supply chains and production to end commodity driven deforestation and reduce the UK’s global environmental footprint
- Support developing countries to achieve positive impacts on climate, biodiversity, health and poverty through ODA funds

We are a dynamic and friendly directorate, offering varied and rewarding roles with the opportunity to make a real difference to the long-term future of our planet. Our work will enable you to develop a wide range of skills, with a particular emphasis on working collaboratively, influencing others and thinking creatively.

Within IBC, you would work in either the International Biodiversity and Environment Negotiations (IBEN) evidence team or the International, Nature, Climate, and Development (INCD) evidence team. Both are multidisciplinary teams, comprising both scientists and economists, whose aims are to provide and communicate the best available evidence, and negotiate ambitious evidence-related outcomes, to support DEFRA’s international environmental policies.

**Job description**:

- [IBEN] key international fora such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

- Identify current and future evidence needs
- Lead on any in-house research
- Scope, commission and manage procurement and progress of contracts and grants for projects commissioned externally from the team's evidence budget
- Communicate the outputs of internal and external projects to relevant teams, to support the aforementioned areas of UK policy. Ongoing projects in the teams include those addressing/involving:

- [IBEN] best practice for biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning, modelling of global pathways to achieve the CBD’s Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and evidence review and analysis of the illegal wildlife trade between Nigeria and Vietnam; and
