UNICEFESG & Sustainability Jobs

United Nations agency working in 190 countries to protect children's rights and well-being.

UNICEF is a United Nations agency that delivers humanitarian and development programs for children and women across more than 190 countries and territories. Its work spans health, nutrition, education, water and sanitation, child protection, and emergency response.

Why it matters

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to children's rights - driving displacement, food insecurity, disease, and disrupted education. UNICEF works at the intersection of climate and child welfare through programs on climate-resilient water systems, disaster risk reduction, and advocacy for child-centered climate policy. The organization also channels funding and technical support through mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund, making it an active player in the global climate finance ecosystem.

For sustainability and ESG professionals, UNICEF offers roles in climate adaptation, environmental analysis, and development consulting - often in fragile or climate-vulnerable contexts where the stakes are highest.
