About the role

Job description

Background and objective of the assignment

Saint Kitts and Nevis is embarking on the preparation of its NDC 3.0 and its first Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy (LT-LEDS). These two national climate documents are being developed through a single integrated process, ensuring alignment across near-, medium-, and long-term climate action, full coherence with the National Planning Development Framework (NPDF), and compliance with UNFCCC guidelines.

Climate Analytics (CA), as the baseline Implementing Partner under the NDC Partnership’s Partnership Action Fund (PAF), will lead the technical work on the Stocktake, Roadmap, scenario modelling, target setting, and drafting of the NDC 3.0 and LT-LEDS. Given the complexity of national coordination across two islands, sector ministries, utilities, private sector entities, civil society, and gender institutions, a strong in-country presence is essential.

The national consultant will serve as the primary on-the-ground coordination and facilitation focal point, supporting data collection, document review, institutional engagement, the organization of consultations and workshops, logistical facilitation, and follow-up with national stakeholders. This role is essential for ensuring that the NDC 3.0 and LT-LEDS are country-driven, inclusive, and built on accurate national data and insights.

Objective: To provide technical, logistical, and coordination support to the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis and Climate Analytics in the development of the NDC 3.0 and LT-LEDS, ensuring strong local ownership, effective stakeholder engagement, and timely delivery of inputs.
