The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable human settlements development and the achievement of adequate shelter for all. For close to forty years, UN-Habitat has been working in human settlements throughout the world, focusing on building a brighter future for villages, towns, and cities of all sizes. The position is in the Basic Services and Climate Change Programme, UN-Habitat, Cairo, Egypt.
UN HABITAT Egypt is continuing to grow rapidly to address the ever-growing needs of Egypt’s urban cities. In this light, UN HABITAT is launching a number of projects and initiatives in the mobility sector with the aim of promoting sustainable mobility practices and policies. Mobility is fundamentally about granting access to opportunities and empowering people to fully exercise their human rights. The sustainable mobility projects in process are managed by the Basic Services and Climate Change Programme (BSCC). Key projects include establishing Egypt’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that connects new cities with the capital, as well as Egypt’s first public Bike-Sharing system to be implemented in central Cairo. This is continuously complemented with initiatives and complementary projects that ensure the advancement of the bigger picture of sustainable mobility in a holistic and people-centred and gender-sensitive manner.Further to activities in mobility, there are planned expansion of the portfolio of sustainable cities activities in Egypt into the fields of urban agriculture and green infrastructure in pursuit of more climate-resilient cities.
Major challenges facing the cities of Egypt include the accelerating impact of concrete-intensive and asphalt-intensive hardscape construction and depletion of natural assets in the city. This implies multiple adverse environmental impacts including impact on urban biodiversity and thermal discomfort for urban dwellers as a result of the heat island effect among other impacts. In this respect, the envisioned future phase of developments in the city involves conservation and expansion in urban natural assets and advancing diverse solutions of green infrastructure to improve climate adaptation capacity and enhance quality of life. This includes potential interventions in stormwater management, urban agriculture (including rooftop spaces), heat stress mitigation, air quality improvement, sustainable energy production, clean water, enhancing the quality of life, aesthetics and shading elements in the city, and maximizing the impacts on the overall quality of life. It is notable that these elements also indirectly serve the promotion of walking, cycling, and public transport through improvement of thermal comfort and enjoyability of commuting experiences in the city.
In this respect, the BSCC programme is now looking to assess the diversity of civic-, public-, and private-sector stakeholders in the various proposed projects for green infrastructure, assessing needs, as well as preparing concept notes and developing partnerships to advance the BSCC green agenda.
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), Basic Services and Climate Change internship is for six (6) months.
