Lot Information

Lot 1

The Climate Ambition Support Alliance (CASA) programme will work to provide training, technical, legal and logistical support for developing country negotiators, in order to build the capacity of the least developed and most climate vulnerable states to participate in the international negotiations process and be more effective in influencing its outcomes.

Activities may include: Provision of training, capacity building and advice (both in person and remotely) on: - the UNFCCC process and strategic participation in it - technical matters including climate mitigation, markets, compliance, transparency - specialist legal and climate finance matters. - the domestic implementation of climate commitments. - Negotiating group governance and coordination. - Financial support to cover logistical cost of negotiators participating in key international meetings. - Maintaining knowledge management databases - Collating lessons learned - Public relations capacity building - Assistance in drafting of submissions, policy papers, statements, treaty texts, etc.

Renewal: Extension on a costed or non-costed basis for up to 24 months including supplier fees and technical assistance budgets.
