81322138-Technical support in the sectors of climate governance, biodiversity and forests conservation and sustainable finance

Description of the services to be provided: There are 5 work packages (WP). After an inception phase including a kick-off workshop with GIZ and partners (WP 1), a main activity will be to support Peru´s NDC goal (WP 2). WP 2 aims to strengthen climate governance through the availability of information that supports decision-making by the various actors involved in the implementation of the NDCs, such as the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), sectoral entities in coordination with subnational governments, the National Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Committee (CANCC), civil society members of the National Climate Change Committee (CNCC), and its working groups. The information generated will guide efforts to implement the NDCs and update them for greater ambition and robustness. WP 3 aims to strengthen climate governance through technical assistance to complement the implementation of a process defined in a regulation to update and/or propose new adaptation and mitigation measures. It will consider prioritized measures in some sectors, and the incorporating gender and intercultural approaches. WP 4 aims to strengthen the technical foundations for the channeling and mobilization of financial resources - both public and private, national and international - intended for the implementation of adaptation and mitigation actions aligned with the roadmap to finance green finance (HRFV) and/or the climate finance strategy currently being developed by the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), thereby contributing to the NDC target and the SDGs. Additionally, it focuses on generating and sharing information to integrate climate risks and their scenarios into investment planning for both the Peruvian industry and the financial sector. WP 5 aims to improve the capacities of local service providers and economic entities to access public and private funding for the sustainable use or protection of forests and their biodiversity. If previously disadvantaged local and indigenous communities, but also established cooperatives and private sector companies, build up their financial literacy to such an extent that they can independently attract public and private funding for their landscape-based conservation and utilization projects, this will strengthen the implementation of local measures as a contribution to national forest, biodiversity and NDCs. Valuable implementation experience on impact investment for biodiversity-friendly companies in Peru can be used directly. An important assumption for successfully attracting international funding for the national public budget is the continuity of the Peruvian government with regard to its NDC, NBSAP/GBF, OECD and JDI commitments even in the event of changes of government. All activities are to be conducted in close cooperation with the main partners Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation, Ministries that implement NDCs, other national authorities and the GIZ project team. The services to be provided require an interactive, collaborative multi-stakeholder approach addressing all different stakeholders involved in sustainable development.
