UNICEF is committed to addressing the climate crisis as a core part of its mission to protect the rights and well-being of every child.

To help advance this agenda, UNICEF is seeking a consultant to support the implementation of its Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (SCAP). As the organization moves into its next Strategic Plan, there is an increasing focus on delivering climate-resilient social services and protecting children from climate, environmental, and disaster-related shocks. The consultant will play a key role in supporting this shift.

Over a billion children are exposed to severe risks from climate and environmental hazards such as heatwaves, droughts, floods, and cyclones. Consequently, it is imperative for countries to establish climate-resilient, low-carbon social services encompassing water and sanitation, healthcare, education, nutrition, social protection, and child protection to tackle current threats and prepare for increasingly severe impacts.
