Climate Finance Expert for the Consulting Services for “Strengthening Climate Adaptation and Resilience (SAR)” in Pakistan

Background:

Pakistan contributes little to global CO2 but is one of the countries most affected by the impacts of climate change. Thus, it is considered a highly vulnerable country because of its exposure to environmental and climate negative events.

Although detailed strategy and planning documents for the implementation of national climate policy are available, implementation is progressing very slowly. In fact, the existing institutional arrangements reflect a gap in the cooperation with provincial stakeholders on climate change. However, the SAR (Strengthening climate adaptation and resilience) project will support mechanism to engage with relevant national and provincial stakeholders with a greater emphasis on climate financing. Climate action for resilience and risk management measures in Pakistan are inadequate - especially regarding vulnerable populations, including women (main problem).

Objectives of the Assignment:

The project aims to improve the conditions for climate adaptation and climate risk management with a specific focus on vulnerable population groups, especially women, in selected provinces as well as at the national level.
