Result of ServiceThe CCAC Secretariat is seeking a manager for the CCAC’s Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (CCAC-TEAP). The CCAC-TEAP Manager will support the CCAC Secretariat in taking the TEAP from pilot to full scale by: supporting the CCAC-TEAP Co-Chairs (currently Ireland and Senegal), the Panel and High Level Delivery Group; coordinating and ensuring timely delivery of high-quality, strategically disseminated and impactful CCAC-TEAP reports; facilitating engagement of the private sector and outreach to the finance community; ensuring CCAC-TEAP is integrated across CCAC workstreams including communications and country programs; Strategic communications and advocacy outputs to amplify the Panel’s work and drive uptake of technologies and practices; and contributing to other CCAC Secretariat teamwork / efforts. Work LocationRemote/Paris, France Expected duration12 months Duties and ResponsibilitiesThe UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, and representatives of the private sector, the environmental community, and other members of civil society. The CCAC is the only international initiative working on integrated climate and clean air solutions to reduce the rate of near-term warming. It focuses on fast action to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) including methane, black carbon, HFCs and tropospheric ozone. More information about the CCAC is here: www.ccacoalition.org As of October 2023, the same team is providing secretariat services to the Global Methane Pledge. More information about the Global Methane Pledge is here: www.globalmethanepledge.org The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) hosts the Secretariat at the Industry & Economy Division in Paris, France. ** CCAC Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (CCAC-TEAP) ** The CCAC Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (CCAC-TEAP) on super pollutants (including methane, black carbon, HFCs, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide) will identify and assess proven and scalable best practices and technologies available to achieve super pollutant mitigation targets and list mitigation and removal technologies that can be commercialized in the short to mid-term (1 to 3 years) and the mid- to longer term (4 to 5 years), while evaluating associated costs, economic viability, market readiness, and potential barriers to rapid deployment. The Panel will issue reports with detailed recommendations and provide regular updates to reflect emerging development on best practices and technologies in each sector. This will be closely aligned with the findings from the CCAC’s Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) assessments to ensure a robust scientific foundation and coherence across the CCAC workstreams. In collaboration with the CCAC Hubs and Secretariat, the Panel will also promote the exchange and implementation of effective technologies and practices for super pollutant mitigation and removal. To enhance impact, it will focus on aligning with high-priority, country-specific opportunities in developing countries by targeting solutions with strong political relevance and high potential for scale up. In addition to its core function, the Panel will include a high-level component, with a specific focus on supporting implementation at scale. Under this component, CCAC will convene a high-level session with selected experts to identify and help remove key obstacles to delivery, with a particular emphasis on mobilizing financing and enhancing private sector engagement. After a pilot phase, the TEAP structure and process needs to be developed.
