UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
**For every child, **_a future._**
**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**
The overall aim of the contract is to develop a strategic narrative on climate change for children in Central Asia.
**Scope of Work**
Climate change presents significant and escalating threats to the well-being of children globally, jeopardizing the progress achieved in child survival and development. According to the UNFCCC the Central Asia region is one of the most at-risk regions in the world to the impacts of climate change. Analysis shows that during recent decades Central Asia’s glaciers have been melting at a faster pace, leading to considerable shrinking and retreat of the glaciers’ heads.
The projected rise in temperatures in the mid to late century is likely to exceed the rise in global average temperatures.
According to UNFCCC secretariat analysis of OECD data (between 2013 and 2018), the international public climate finance for the region totaled USD 9.1 billion, of which 76% was for mitigation, 19% was for adaptation and 5% was crosscutting. About 80% of climate finance was provided through multilateral channels and 20% was through bilateral flows. Debt instruments comprised about 89% of all international climate finance, while grants made up about 10% of climate finance flows to the region. The energy sector accounted for about 46% of all climate finance between 2013 and 2018. The agriculture sector was second and transportation was third, accounting for about 11% and 8% respectively.
Evidence shows that public spending on children is a wise investment that builds human capital, benefiting not only children but also their communities and countries more broadly. Investments in children lead to rises in income, contributing to sustainable development and cohesive societies. Conversely, climate finance and action that overlooks the rights of children weakens the efficacy of climate change response measures, and risks contributing to adverse social outcomes and deepening inequalities, inadvertently harming rather than protecting children and their families. As discussions on proposed reforms to the international financial architecture gather pace, and the UNFCCC deliberates on a new goal on climate finance and the design of a Loss and Damage fund, it is extremely urgent that UNICEF defines our added value and role in climate action.
UNICEF is exploring strategic partnerships with International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and governments to shape a narrative on climate change for children. UNICEF’s engagement with IFIs, thus, goes beyond resource mobilization, and a sole focus on this would not be strategic or realistic.
Objectives:
- Conduct a screening of the climate finance status of key UNICEF sectors and countries.
- In collaboration with ECARO and UNICEF 5 COs in Central Asia programme teams Support the development of multi country UNICEF Concept Note/proposals for Climate Finance in Central Asia.
- Collaborate with 5 COs and develop a sub regional concept note on climate change and children.
- Support the identification of a project pipeline of bankable projects.
