CONSULTANCY Call for Special Service Agreement in support for the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, G3W, at the World Meteorological Organisation in Geneva.
- The World Meteorological Congress at its 19th session (Cg-19, 22nd May - 2nd June 2023) approved the concept note and established a new global greenhouse gas monitoring initiative that aims to support WMO Members in mitigation actions undertaken to implement the Paris Agreement. This concept has been developed in a close collaboration between WMO and partner organizations dealing with greenhouse gases and carbon cycle.
- The Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W) fills critical information gaps and provides an integrated, operational framework that brings together all observing systems, as well as modelling and data assimilation capabilities in relation to greenhouse gas monitoring, striving to reduce the uncertainty in assessing the efficacy of climate action.
- The purpose of this consultancy is to support and oversee the G3W Implementation and Pre-operational Phase G3W-IPP in 2024-2027, detailed in the G3W Implementation Plan https://community.wmo.int/en/meetings/global-greenhouse-gas-watch-g3w-implementation-plan
- This initial call is for 30-day within 2024 at 750$ net of tax per day for experts in stakeholders’ engagement of Greenhouse Gas Monitoring for Climate Action Support.
- The G3W is estimated to cost 1 Billion $ over the G3W Implementation and Pre-operational Phase G3W-IPP in 2024-2027, therefore experience in managing Climate related sizeable budgets, procurement, strategic development, and liaison with public and private partners will be an advantage. Previous managerial experience and proof of leadership skills are essential.
- The successful candidate will support the Co-Development of the strategic actions and contribute to the implementation plan delivery. Oversee and evaluate the G3W implementation plan progress at regular quarterly intervals and draft recommendations. Liaise with established and potential founders and stakeholders in National and International actors.
