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.
The consultancy will be carried out within the framework of the Education that Protects against Violence strategy (www.unicef.org/brazil/educacao-que-protege). Since 2019, UNICEF has been developing and sharing methodologies on the role of the school community in preventing and responding to violence, while supporting governments in the development of policies and the strengthening of services so that education becomes a protective factor against violence.
