UNICEF Thailand has now issued a Request for Proposal in reference to LRPS-2021-9169515 to seek a qualified institution to provide the Impacts of Climate Change and Environmental Degradation on Children in Thailand. The purpose of this assignment is to produce much needed data and evidence on the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation on children and fill the critical data, information and knowledge gaps in promoting child-sensitive climate and environmental policies and programs in Thailand. The assignment will be undertaken to assess both the current and projected impacts of climate change and environmental degradation and related climate/environmental policy measures on children in Thailand and to provide actionable recommendations to the Government of Thailand and UNICEF, including possibilities for expanding public and private partnerships towards addressing the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on children and adolescents.

By enhancing availability and use of policy-relevant child-specific data and information on climate and environmental issues, this assessment is ultimately intended to contribute to the design and implementation of inclusive and equitable climate and environmental policies and measures including Thailand’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution, National Adaptation Plan and relevant sector and sub-national policies and programs.
