UN Volunteers platform is offering an online volunteer opportunity, as it is looking for 2 qualified volunteers to support on the translation English – Arabic for the document Frequently Ask Questions of the initiative Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs).

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and its partners launched the Global Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs) initiative at the United Nations SDG Summit 2019. The initiative aims to accelerate the shift to more inclusive green economies and sustainable production and consumption patterns in order to strengthen public and private sector capacities to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The GO4SDGs initiative will share innovative practices from countries at the regional level and strengthen capacities for replication across regions. It will also offer countries the opportunity to access existing tools and services at a larger scale through a menu of options to strengthen the capacity of three critical actors: policymakers, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and youth, and support them as change agents to implement policies, investments, business models, and consumer choices towards decarbonization, resource efficiency, and sustainability.

Volunteer duration and working hours:

6-10 hours per week for overall 3 weeks.

Eligibility criteria:

Experience with official translations of documents English – Arabic.
Additional skills are desirable, including knowledge of illustrator and understanding of environmental issues.
Once the task has been finalized the volunteer will receive a certificate.

Volunteer framework:

This document has 3 pages and around 1500 words. It provides more information about GO4SDGs, why it was created, what are its areas of focus, how GO4SDGs will deliver on its goal, and how can partners get involved.

The document has 6 pages and around 3000 words.
