REOI: Consultancy Services - Climate Change Knowledge Management Specialist

Background:

 Grenada’s economy depends on climate-sensitive sectors like tourism, agriculture, and construction, which are highly exposed to extreme weather and sea level rise. To transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and National Adaptation Plan (NAP), Grenada will need over $500 million in investments over the next decade. However, limited access to international climate finance and innovative financing options highlights the need for private sector engagement.

 To address this, the Government of Grenada, through the Grenada Development Bank (GDB) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), are leading a readiness project to strengthen local capacity for climate finance. The initiative includes frameworks and training for private sector stakeholders on green finance management, climate risk screening, and investment planning. Through various targeted training and policy development, the project aims to foster an environment where the private sector can actively contribute to Grenada’s climate adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Consultancy Objectives:

The GDB seeks to engage short-term consultants to enhance Grenada’s private sector readiness to access climate finance.

The Climate Change Knowledge Management Specialist is tasked with creating a Sustainable Climate Finance Structured Dialogue Platform and a financing mechanism for its sustainability for the private sector and others, and to support the enhancement of capacities in the implementation of GCF-funded activities. All activities outlined for the process, particularly stakeholder engagements for capacity building, must be carried out with gender-sensitive lenses, emphasizing developing countries.
