UNEP is implementing several projects in Latin America and the Caribbean to support countries in creating capacity readiness and enabling conditions in the region through fostering knowledge sharing, public-private partnerships, and the development of institutional capacity and climate technology policies. The REGATTA project seeks to strengthen capacity and knowledge sharing of climate change technologies and experiences for adaptation and mitigation in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its design and development is aligned with the international climate change negotiations in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), after the Cancun Agreements at COP16, which established the CTCN. These activities would support work of the CTCN.
Under the direct supervision of the UNEP focal point for the CTCN in UNEP´s Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC) based in Panama City and additional guidance from the climate technology manager of the CTCN, the consultant will support the operations and development of the CTCN in the LAC region.
