Bhutan is increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change, with rising temperature variability, changing weather patterns, and growing pressure on natural resources affecting children’s learning environments. Many schools, particularly in remote areas, rely heavily on fuelwood for cooking and heating, contributing to deforestation and indoor air pollution. At the same time, frequent power outages and inefficient energy systems disrupt teaching and learning, limit access to digital education, and compromise safety. School infrastructure is often not climate resilient. Poor insulation, lack of heating or cooling, and inadequate lighting affect student comfort, concentration, and performance, while weak waste management systems pose environmental and health risks.
The consultant will provide strategic programming and design, technical guidance and support to UNICEF and government partners to operationalize the Climate Smart School Initiative, oversee technical quality, support strengthening stakeholder coordination, develop implementation frameworks, support capacity building, establish monitoring systems, and contribute to national scale-up of climate-smart school models.
Los distritos de Merced y Carmen concentran una alta diversidad de dinámicas urbanas caracterizadas por procesos de densificación, informalidad habitacional, movilidad humana, desigualdad socioeconómica y exclusión social. En este contexto, las cuarterías —formas de alojamiento colectivo con condiciones precarias de habitabilidad, hacinamiento e inseguridad— representan una modalidad histórica y persistente de vivienda informal que afecta de manera desproporcionada a poblaciones en situación de vulnerabilidad.
Diversos diagnósticos institucionales y organizaciones sociales han identificado que las cuarterías albergan a personas migrantes, familias monoparentales, personas adultas mayores, trabajadores informales y, de manera significativa, niñas, niños y adolescentes (NNA). Las condiciones estructurales, sanitarias y de seguridad presentes en estos espacios pueden generar riesgos elevados para el ejercicio pleno de derechos fundamentales, incluyendo el derecho a una vivienda adecuada, a la salud, a la educación, a la protección contra la violencia, al desarrollo integral y a un entorno seguro.
