Notes
The country responses to the ongoing Global Consultation on Climate Change Statistics and Indicators (https://unstats.un.org/unsd/envstats/ClimateChange_globalconsultation.cshtml) to date have provided explicit information on their capacity development needs, many of which emphasise the importance of National workshops; Country visits/study tours; Bilateral consultations; E-learning; Networking; Implementation guidelines and training materials.
Request summary
Based on the outcomes of the ongoing Global Consultation, UNSD identified that consultancy assistance is needed, in particular to work with the French-speaking African countries. On one hand this is needed to help UNSD to process the feedback received so far, and on the other hand to help these countries to deepen their self-assessment activities using the draft Global Set and initiate the development of their own national sets of climate change statistics. Based on the above and also taking into account the responses from other countries, the proposed consultancies will contribute to the development of training materials and guidelines for national consultation and data sharing processes needed to enable NSOs in their coordination, data compilation and dissemination of official climate change statistics.
