Background |
|||||||||||||||||
UNDP is currently working in various areas concerning sustainable development, from systems and institutional strengthening to inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, as well as sustainable energy, environment, and resilience. The Energy Environment and Resilience (EER) Unit at UNDP is organized around the thematic areas of climate change adaptation and mitigation; disaster management and resilience; and access to clean and efficient energy. While India is on track to achieve some of its NDC targets on emission intensity and non-fossil fuel-based energy installations, there remain significant bottlenecks such as lack of cutting-edge climate technology for the transition to low carbon pathways; and for innovative and inclusive solutions for building adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities to cope with climate change. To this end, India developed a proposal to the Japan Supplementary Budget (JSB) programme Net Zero emissions, which aims to support transition to a low carbon economy, to support sustainable and inclusive development, to identify and create livelihood provisions (and green jobs) and to build climate resilience of the vulnerable communities. This project will undertake strategic, sector-specific interventions in 9 states, including Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and Sikkim. More specifically, various states developing climate scenarios and adaptation action plans, to suit their policies and plans. In this regard, expertise is needed to review the climate state action plans on adaptation and carbon emission scenarios ensuring the technical standards are met and report quality. In this regard we are looking for a specialist who reviews the adaptation report from the states and engage with the stakeholders and team preparing the report to ensure the quality and technical solutions are in the desired standards from the global perspective.
