CLIMATE FINANCE CONSULTANT

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION

<div><p>Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the impacts of climate change. It faces multiple climate-related challenges, including both sudden-onset events (such as floods and droughts) and slow-onset impacts (such as increased heat, variable rainfall, heavy precipitation). Pakistan's economy is largely dependent on agriculture, which is also significantly impacted by climate change, including because of its effects on crop failure and declining productivity. The impact of climate change on livelihoods and human security often makes it a significant trigger for rural-to-urban migration, while the sudden impact of disasters such as flooding has been known to cause large-scale internal displacement.<br>
</p><p></p><p>The Government of Pakistan (GoP) acknowledges the importance of strengthening adaptation to climate change impacts and recognizes the need to include human mobility concerns into climate change planning. As part of an earlier IOM Development Fund (IOM DF) initiative, IOM supported the GoP in including human mobility considerations in its National Adaptation Plan (NAP). However, knowledge and funding gaps as well as the lack of a comprehensive communications strategy on NAP and climate-related human mobility remain persistent challenges in implementing the NAP. The lack of capacity and by extension, lack of innovative solutions, make it difficult to secure funding for programmes that address human mobility in climate adaptation plans. Government agencies at both federal and provincial levels lack the technical expertise and resources to integrate human mobility considerations into existing climate change policies and procedures. Traditionally, climate change adaptation and migration management have been handled by separate entities. Bridging the gap between these departments and fostering inter-ministerial collaboration is crucial for a unified approach. Furthermore, to generate more public interest and knowledge in this portfolio, communication and advocacy around human mobility must be strengthened - a component that is explicitly mentioned in the NAP.<br>
</p><p></p><p>The project leverages the achievements of previous engagements by IOM Pakistan on the subject and seeks to contribute to the implementation of Pakistan's NAP by enhancing the GoP's advocacy and communication tools and promoting innovative climate adaptation solutions via a whole-of-society approach. The project seeks to build on ongoing engagements related to the NAP and a strong relationship with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&amp;EC) to expand adaptation planning while including human mobility concerns.<br>
</p><p></p><p>The Government of Pakistan (GoP), through the Ministry of Climate Change &amp; Environmental Coordination (MoCC&amp;EC), has identified a need to enhance its understanding of climate finance options and its capacity to transform proposed solutions into fundable projects. This initiative is a critical linkage to the Pakistan Climate Mobility Innovation Challenge, as it will enable the GoP to secure financing for a pipeline of innovative solutions developed under the National Adaptation Plan (NAP). The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is seeking to hire a specialized consultant to address this capacity gap.</p></div>

Call for Application-Climate Finance Consultant

Climate Mobility Policy Consultant

IOM - UN Migration

ROZEE.PK

<div><div><div><p><b>Project Context and Scope;</b></p>
<p>
Pakistan stands as a frontline state in the global climate crisis, facing a complex interplay of sudden‑onset disasters and slow‑onset phenomena that directly challenge the objectives of the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA). As an economy where agriculture‑dependent livelihoods are increasingly undermined by erratic precipitation patterns, heat stress, and water insecurity, climate impacts are reshaping human mobility dynamics ranging from distress migration to large‑scale internal displacement. These trends represent a critical adaptation gap that must be addressed to meet the targets of the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience (UAE FGCR).</p>
<p>
While the Government of Pakistan (GoP), with technical support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), successfully integrated human mobility considerations into the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) (2023), a significant disconnect remains between policy intent and the Means of Implementation. Transitioning from planning to transformative action requires aligning Pakistan&rsquo;s domestic mobility strategies with the GGA&rsquo;s iterative cycle of risk and impact assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring. At present, persistent gaps in specialized climate finance readiness and high‑resolution, results‑based data frameworks constrain the GoP&rsquo;s ability to develop bankable, innovative adaptation solutions that meet emerging international transparency and accountability requirements, including those under the UAE‑Bel&eacute;m Work Programme.</p>
<p>
Effective NAP implementation further requires breaking entrenched silos between migration management, climate adaptation, and disaster risk governance. Strengthening inter‑ministerial and federal&ndash;provincial coordination is not merely a logistical necessity, but a foundational requirement for multi‑level climate governance under the GGA. In parallel, and in line with the GGA&rsquo;s emphasis on inclusive and people‑centred adaptation, Pakistan must operationalize a coherent communication, monitoring, and advocacy strategy that ensures climate‑induced mobility is recognized not as a failure of adaptation, but as a legitimate and strategic adaptation response.</p>
<p>
These national priorities are further reinforced by the EU‑funded project NC0226 &ndash; Comprehensive Mobility in South Asia, which provides a regional platform for advancing evidence‑based, climate‑responsive mobility governance. NC0226 supports South Asian countries, including Pakistan, in strengthening policy coherence across migration, climate change, and development frameworks, while promoting standardized approaches to data, analysis, and regional learning. The project offers a strategic foundation for Pakistan to pilot and upscale climate mobility indicators, strengthen cross‑border and regional knowledge exchange, and align national adaptation tracking systems with international good practice. Leveraging NC0226 alongside national NAP implementation enables Pakistan to situate its climate mobility agenda within a broader regional resilience and adaptation architecture, strengthening its credibility and readiness for international climate finance engagement.</p>
<p><b>
Institutional Context and Need</b></p>
<p>
Pakistan is among the top 10 most climate‑vulnerable countries globally. In response, the Ministry of Climate Change &amp; Environmental Coordination (MoCC&amp;EC) launched Pakistan&rsquo;s first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) in 2023, structured around six priority areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Agriculture&ndash;Water Nexus</li>
<li>Natural Capital</li>
<li>Urban Resilience</li>
<li>Human Capital</li>
<li>Disaster Risk Management (DRM)</li>
<li>Gender, Youth, and Social Inclusion</li>
</ul>
<p>Concurrently, under the UNFCCC, the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience was adopted to operationalize the GGA. Translating this global ambition into national action requires a cohesive Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) system. MoCC&amp;EC therefore requires targeted technical support to harmonize Pakistan&rsquo;s domestic NAP indicators with emerging GGA metrics, particularly those being developed under the UAE, Bel&eacute;m Work Programme, in order to establish a unified, trackable, and internationally comparable adaptation framework.</p>
<p><b>
Objective:</b></p>
<p>
The objective of this initiative is to provide strategic and technical support to the MoCC&amp;EC in formulating a localized, unified adaptation tracking framework. The consultant will map global UAE FGCR targets and indicators against Pakistan&rsquo;s existing NAP priority areas to develop a consolidated national indicator matrix. This framework will serve both domestic monitoring and evaluation needs and international reporting and climate finance requirements, thereby strengthening Pakistan&rsquo;s capacity to design, measure, and finance high‑impact climate mobility and adaptation interventions.</p>
