Expected deliverables
The consultant is expected to deliver the following outputs during the assignment:
- Climate technology portfolio: A portfolio of identified and prioritised climate mitigation technologies for the Waste and Energy sectors.
- Technology Needs Assessment report: An assessment of prioritised technologies in both sectors, including their relevance and contribution to Peru’s NDC implementation.
- Barrier Analysis and Enabling Framework report: An assessment of barriers affecting the prioritised technologies and recommendations for creating enabling conditions for their deployment and diffusion.
- Technology Action Plans: A TAP for each of the two sectors, outlining the activities, measures and enabling frameworks needed to support technology implementation.
- Technology policy briefs: A concise policy brief for each prioritised technology, summarising the relevant policy actions and recommendations for implementation.
UNEP-CCC will provide templates and technical guidance for the preparation of the reports and policy briefs.
