PARAGUAY: COMMUNICATION CONSULTANT

INTRODUCTION TO GGGI

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page. 

PROEJCT BACKGROUND

GGGI is partnering with the Government of Paraguay (GoP) to support readiness activities for the country to access climate finance from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). In order for Paraguay to reach its climate change and sustainable development objectives, the GoP seeks to increase its access to climate finance (particularly the Green Climate Fund, GCF), build a pipeline of bankable projects, strengthen gender-inclusive strategic climate finance frameworks, and increase participation of the private sector in green project development. In order to support these efforts, GGGI is working directly with Paraguay's Nationally Designated Authority (NDA) under the Ministry of the Environment (MADES) through its Directorate of Strategic Planning to improve Paraguay's Readiness to access finance for climate change and green growth projects.

The Readiness program aims to build the capacity of the Government of Paraguay and relevant country stakeholders to plan, finance, implement and monitor climate change mitigation projects in priority sectors that reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and contribute to Paraguay's targets under the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

Paraguay's vulnerability to climate change impacts is very high, ranked 12th in the Climate Risk Index 2019, which represents a significant risk for the main productive sectors of the country. Paraguay's Climate Change Law prioritizes the identification, access, and efficient use of long-term affordable climate finance to achieve the country's climate change mitigation ambitions
