- One of the most relevant challenges the implementation of the Paris Agreement poses to countries is to count with strong Transparency Frameworks. Article 13 of the Paris Agreement establishes the need of Parties to implement national robust and transparent monitoring, reporting, verification and accounting systems to give clarity on action and support while providing clear information to stakeholders to be available to assess if the necessary is being done in relation to compliance with the commitments assumed to face climate change. As part of building and enhancing their Transparency Frameworks, Parties of the United Nations Frame Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will progressively implement better tools and institutional arrangements, many of them not sufficiently developed in the countries. This is especially true for developing countries. The UNFCCC enhanced transparency framework demands substantial and immediate progress in the countries ́ domestic Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems and strategic decarbonization and adaptation planning. This entails moving from often disintegrated and often different methodological approaches in data management to an integrated and robust system. The success of the Paris Agreement hinges on enhanced transparency of action and support, as a critical foundation to making its bottomup countryled approach work, as well as mutual trust and confidence amongst Parties. In this line, the UNEP Transparency and Climate Ambition Team has developed, together with eight (8) countries of the region, a Regional Readiness Proposal "Capacity Building in Carbon Markets and Article 6".
This proposal seeks to collectively improve:
i) the overall knowledge of the scope and functioning of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and El Salvador through a regional approach and, ii) support the relevant stakeholders from these participating countries to comply with the institutional, technical and operational requirements to establish or participate in new or existing carbon markets.
This will not only support the participating countries to comply with the goals established in their NDCs but it also allows the national governments to increase their ambition, transparency and cooperation among parties in their commitments under the Paris Agreement.
Therefore, the Climate Ambition and Transparency Team is looking for a Country Leader Consultant for Costa Rica to steer down the execution of the Readiness activities in Costa Rica, and whom will i) work in close collaboration with the international - individual consultants and firms in the development of activities and deliverables for Costa Rica, ii) provide technical inputs to ensure high quality Readiness deliverables, iii) maintain fluid conversations with Costa Rica ́s NDAs and local stakeholders and, iv) ensure that activities are developed according to Costa Rica's national circumstances and priorities.The Country Leader Consultant for Costa Rica will be supervised by UNEP's Programme Management Officer of Energy Efficiency of the Climate Change Unit for Latin America and the Caribbean Office.
The incumbent will be based at the Ministry of Environment of Costa Rica (San José, Costa Rica) and will be expected to comply with 20 hours per week (part-time), Monday to Friday, based on the Government priorities.
The Lead Technical Specialist Consultant for Costa Rica will contribute to the Climate Ambition and Transparency Team's achievement of these main goals:Collectively improve the overall knowledge of the scope and functioning of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in Costa Rica, but also in Argentina, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Guatemala and El Salvador through a regional approach Enable the relevant stakeholders from these participating countries to comply with the institutional, technical, and operational requirements necessary to establish or participate in new or existing carbon markets.
