National Climate Consultant

UNICEF East Asia Pacific Regional Office (EAPRO) is developing a Regional Programme “Mainstreaming Climate-Smart Social Services in the East Asia Pacific Region” for 14 countries in the region, for which Thailand is included. The Programme aims to finance climate-smart social services as a new asset class in climate finance in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Shared Socio-Economic Pathways. A Concept Note is being elaborated and program preparation expected to start in 2025. To support the programme preparation, UNICEF Regional Office for East Asia and the Pacific recruited an international consulting firm to develop the Programme Proposal.
