Energy and Climate Individual Consultant

Please note that the deadline is based on Korean Standard Time Zone (KST, UTC+9)_**INTRODUCTION TO GGGI**:The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.**PROJECT BACKGROUND**:Over the last decade, GGGI has consolidated its role as a trusted advisor to Mexico's federal and subnational governments, actively working with key counterparts to establish a solid foundation for green growth in the country. In recent years, GGGI has partnered with the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), as well as with the United Kingdom through its UKPACT program, to improve the architecture of climate finance in the country and improve Mexico's access to climate resources by preparing local financial institutions, highlighting the role of development banking, to access GCF funds.GGGI Mexico has a growing portfolio of programs managing a diverse set of programs and projects focused on four key thematic areas of energy, green cities, water, and land-use as well as the cross-cutting areas of climate change and socially inclusive development, all of which contribute significantly to the potential for achieving green growth in Mexico.Following these thematic areas, GGGI Mexico has supported the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) via its General Directorate of Policies for Climate Action (DGPAC) and its International Affairs Coordinating Unit (UCAI) in the process of updating Mexico's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), contributing to the identification of enabling conditions and mitigation projects that can support the achievement of the national climate goals.As a result of this effort, the Ministry of Energy (SENER) through its Undersecretary of Planning and Energy Transition (STPE) requested GGGI’s support in the design and development of technical elements to be provided to the General Directorate of Energy Efficiency and Sustainability (DGESE) as well as to the General Directorate of Energy Planning and Integration (DGPIE) to be included as part of the National Plan of Energy Transition and Sustainable Use of Energy (PLATEASE), one of the main energy policy guiding instruments. To contribute to these efforts, GGGI seeks technical support to collaborate with SENER in its design.Within this context, an independent energy and climate consultant is needed to contribute to SENER and GGGI in the generation of technical inputs and support the DGESE and DGPIE in the development of PLATEASE.**OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT**:The objective of the consultancy is to technically support SENER-DGESE in the development process of the Mexico’s PLATEASE by supporting participative processes, as well as generating and reviewing technical data and inputs for the main document, analysis of energy efficiency and mitigation policies and scenarios that need to be included in the new planning document to enable its efficient and impactful implementation.This consultancy will support GGGI and SENER to ensure technical coordination, policy engagement, and deliverable quality during a critical phase of the plan’s development.**DELIVERABLES AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE**:ActivitiesThe consultancy must carry out at least the following activities for the different components:Providing technical inputs for the energy efficiency components of the PLATEASE- Technical support for the design and elaboration of Mexico's PLATEASE in accordance with SENER and GGGI.- Provide technical assistance to SENER-DGESE-DGPIE in reviewing, structuring, and consolidating inputs for the PLATEASE, including sectoral analyses (buildings, transport, agriculture and livestock and industry), cost-benefit evaluations, and benchmarking of energy efficiency measures.- Provide technical support in the development and generation of inputs to assess different energy mitigation measures through LEAP calculation tool, support developing an integrated template to represent key energy demand sectors as well as potential energy mitigation measures.- Provide support for workshop facilitation, ensuring technical consistency, alignment with national policy priorities, and timely delivery of milestones.- Ensure the integration of cross-cutting themes, including gender, social inclusion, and co-benefits of energy efficiency for climate mitigation, productivity, and well-being, throughout the plan’s development.- Participate in inter-institutional coordination meetings, representing GGGI’s technical perspective and ensuring coherence between PLATEASE development and Mexico’s broader energy transition and mitigation goals.Cross-cutting support to GGGI Mexico’s Mitigation and Energy Agenda- Contribute to the analysis of policies, strategies, and regulatory frameworks
