Summary<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe Geneva Global Hub for Education in Emergencies (EiE Hub) is recruiting a climate consultant to advise on the engagement with climate and environmental multilateral funds. The consultant will identify ways to engage with these funds and produce up to five related advocacy products (e.g., factsheets, submissions, policy notes or other depending on opportunities that arise). These aim at highlighting to the different multilateral climate and environmental funds serving the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement why education in emergencies (EiE) is relevant for climate funding, and will advocate for EiE to receive a fair share of international climate finance. The products will be tailored to each fund and support these funds in understanding why EiE should be leveraged to contribute to addressing climate change, and how EiE components could be mainstreamed in the various funds\u2019 programmes and portfolios. The consultant is also expected to produce a succinct dissemination plan to share the products with the target audience.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn addition, consultant will also support the EiE Hub to develop a learning exchange on engagement with climate funds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Background<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nThe <\/span>EiE Hub 2022 \u2013 2025 Strategy<\/span><\/a> outlines the goal to catalyse joint action and strengthening integrated approaches across the humanitarian-development nexus and with other sectors, such as climate, by facilitating increased collaboration for EiE. Faced with the under-prioritisation and underfunding of EiE, and given the magnitude of the challenge, the <\/span>EiE Hub\u2019s 52 members<\/span><\/a> have come together to form a strong alliance of diverse states and organisations to step up visibility, political and operational commitment, and funding for EiE. Without concerted action, including more and better funding directed at reaching those affected by crises, the world will fall far short of the SDG4. By working globally with other sectors to leverage EiE, break down sectoral silos and mainstream EiE, the EiE Hub will unlock new opportunities for joint action, and improved coherence and scale.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe EiE Hub 2023 <\/span>Flagship Report on EiE and climate change<\/span><\/a>, the first report laying out how climate change impacts the right to learning of crisis-affected and displaced children and youth, assessed what the EiE sector is doing in the field and opportunities it should embrace \u2013 singly and in collaboration with other sectors \u2013 to contribute towards transformative climate action. Some of the recommendations relate to the different types of climate-related funding sources and how they could be leveraged for EiE. This consultancy is part of a follow-up to the following recommendations: i) advocate for EiE to receive a fair share of international climate finance, ii) enhance coordination among humanitarian and development funders to ensure funding is allocated to preparedness, mitigation and adaptation, iii) fund examples of anticipatory action in the EiE sphere.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall, EiE actors work across the humanitarian-development nexus in some of the most climate-vulnerable countries. Their interventions, including multi-sectoral components, directly contribute to climate resilience. Yet, climate fund investments do not yet recognise the critical role of education for displaced and crisis-affected children and youth to promote climate action: education helps people address the root causes and impacts of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, competencies and skills needed to adapt and innovate to act, transform economies, and improve health, well-being and security. The UNICEF, Plan International and Save the Children <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> assessing the investment funded by the multilateral climate funds (namely the Adaptation Fund (AF), the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF)) found that, only one project between 2006 and 2023 had education as principal objective.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Scope of work<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nThe climate consultant will identify ways to engage with and develop up to five related advocacy products (e.g. factsheets, submissions, policy notes or other depending on opportunities that arise) aiming at multilateral climate funds serving the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreements, namely the AF, the GCF, the GEF, the Loss and Damage Fund, and the CERF Climate Action Account. These products will familiarise the different multilateral climate and environmental funds on EiE and outline its importance, so that ultimately EiE receives a fair share of international climate finance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe consultant will also support the EiE Hub Secretariat in developing a learning event on engagement with climate funds. It will take the form of a structured discussion to share expertise and advance collaboration between the different EiE Hub members, some of whom are both accredited and in the process of being accredited to these various funds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe consultant will work with the support of the EiE Hub Secretariat and in consultation with the Technical Working Group (TWG), EiE Hub members, and additional EiE and climate change stakeholders.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe consultant will also support the successful dissemination of the products with the \u2018how\u2019 to be agreed on in the inception report.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
