Pros

Exposure to global environmental agenda

Cons

International UNVs work equates to P2-P3 level tasks. However, the stipend is way less compared to P2. UNEP hires UNV from underrepresented countries (mostly from developing countries and pays them half of P2 salary. UNEP hires JPOs from developed countries and pays them at P2 level. However, the tasks are equivalent. Many IUNVs work at P-level tasks but underpaid. This is what member states don't know about UNEP young talent pipeline.
