Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Development of an Implementation Plan and accompanying Institutional Framework for Trinidad and Tobago-s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC).
Overview :

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations call for developed countries and international organizations to support developing countries' efforts to address greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with their development priorities. In this context, the Low Emission Capacity Building (LECB) Programme was launched in January 2011 as part of a joint collaboration between the European Union and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Trinidad and Tobago is one of twenty-five (25) participating countries in the LECB Programme and in order to facilitate the Programme-s objectives, the Ministry of Planning and Development (MPD), together with the UNDP, has coordinated a National LECB Project that commenced in July 2014. This Project is being executed by a Project Team with the oversight of a Steering Committee comprised of representatives of key organizations across both public and private sectors.
In order to reach the potential for low-carbon development in the Power Generation, Transport and Industry sectors, the objectives of the LECB Programme in Trinidad and Tobago include the:
1. Design of sectoral Low-Carbon Development (LCD) Action Plans.
2. Identification of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).
3. Design of systems for Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of proposed mitigation actions.
4. Development of an Implementation Plan for Trinidad and Tobago-s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC).
1.2 Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs)
At the 19th Conference of the Parties (COP19) to the UNFCCC all member states were called upon to prepare their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) with defined mitigation targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the post-2020 period. This forms part of an international effort to minimise the global average temperature increase. Trinidad and Tobago-s INDC has been officially approved by Cabinet and submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat in July 2015. The stated aim is to achieve an overall reduction in emissions from the power generation, transportation and industrial sectors of 15% by 2030 from business as usual (BAU).
1.3 Linkages between Trinidad and Tobago-s INDC and the LECB Programme
In addition to preparing the country for monitoring the implementation of the National Climate Change Policy, the activities under LECB Programme in Trinidad and Tobago also aim to support and build on the findings from other climate change initiatives being undertaken by the MPD, including the Carbon Reduction Strategy (CRS) Project and the Mainstreaming of Climate Change into National Development and Capacity Building for Participation in Carbon Markets (IDB Project).
Through the LECB Project, recommendations coming out of the CRS in particular will be translated into the development of NAMAs that are expected to form an essential input into future nationally determined contributions. Furthermore, the MRV System that will be developed by the LECB Project will also assist in monitoring and refining Trinidad and Tobago-s INDC.
On behalf of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT), the UNDP is seeking a suitable professional to work with the Ministry of Planning and Development, to develop an Implementation Plan and accompanying Institutional Framework for Trinidad and Tobago-s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC).
For the purpose of the INDC and the LECB Project, emissions from the selected sectors are defined as follows:
Power Generation - the generation of electricity inside and outside the national grid.

Transport Sector - the transport of goods and persons via land, sea and air.

Industry - fossil fuel burning and industrial processes (eg. cement and chemical manufacturing), as well as oil and gas exploration, production and refining
