Technical Adviser for the Climate Finance Accelerator Programme

Description

The Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) intends to appoint a Technical Advisor (TA) to assist with the design, set-up and implementation of a new International Climate Finance programme, the Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA), which is set to be launched in 2020. The CFA will support emerging economies to translate their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - commitments made under the Paris Agreement - into 'climate investment plans', which consist of a pipeline of bankable, low-carbon projects. A series of pilot activities were undertaken from 2017 until present to test the CFA concept and a Delivery Partner (DP) will be procured within the coming months to lead programme implementation. Details about this will be disclosed in due course. Under the supervision of the BEIS programme team, the TA will support BEIS to develop the specification for, and to procure, the CFA DP, and they will subsequently oversee and support programme delivery.
