Introduction

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is currently implementing a project "Viet Nam Climate-Smart Coastal Communities (VN-CSCC)" that requires the services of a National Consultant to Prepare report on VN blue carbon with focus on seagrass and tidal marsh for VN-CSCC project, as described in this document. 

Female consultants are encouraged to bid for this required service. Preference will be given to equally technically qualified female consultants.

The objective of this consultancy is to support the integration of emission reduction measures from seagrass and tidal marshes into the NDC 3.0 by developing the Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario of GHG removals, emissions and net emissions, proposing potentially new measures for increasing carbon sequestration and reducing GHG emissions, estimating the total potential emission reduction, and analyzing costs and financial needs for implementing those measures (conditional and unconditional targets). The assignment will contribute to enhancing the scientific basis and ambition of NDC 3.0, ensuring that seagrass and tidal marshes are recognized not only as critical nature-based solutions for climate mitigation and resilience, but also as valuable assets for sustainable coastal development.

The national consultant will work closely with and under the guidance of UNDP Viet Nam. The assignment will be supervised by DCC and UNDP, specifically the Programme Management Specialist on Climate Change and Resilience.

Period of assignment/services: 70 working days, from May 2025 to November 2025

Duty station: Home-based and Ha Noi, Viet Nam, without travel costs incurred charged to UNDP
