The CCAC National Methane Planning Consultant will be responsible for: Supporting the definition of a cross-sectoral methane roadmap based on the inputs provided by the Ministry of Environment and other line ministries.

The roadmap should follow the CCAC M-RAP Methane Roadmap template and its five building blocks. The methane roadmap should integrate input from relevant stakeholders from different sectors.

The 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 on the CCAC is available at: www.ccacoalition.org. Guidance on the CCAC’s National Planning Methodology for reducing short-lived climate pollutants is available in the Resource Library. Participating in the Global Methane Pledge, Angola has made a voluntary commitment towards the objective to reduce global methane emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels.

This consultancy will support the Government of Angola to develop a National Methane Roadmap that will serve as input to its NDC 3.0 and contribute to achieving its commitment under the Global Methane Pledge.

Angola developed a National Strategy on Climate Change (ENAC 2022-20235) in 2022 that articulates objectives, instruments and institutions in the pursuit of sustained economic growth and sustainable development. The strategy identifies actions for mitigation and adaptation that deliver against the provision of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Based on the ENAC, Angola is working on its NDC 3.0 process and in identifying targets and measures for both mitigation and adaptation for different sectors.

CCAC is seeking a National Methane Planning Consultant to assist the Ministry of Environment in developing a national methane roadmap for Angola that clearly outlines Angola’s contribution to achieving the Global Methane Pledge and that supports the inclusion of methane in its NDC 3.0 To achieve this the consultant will establish and implement a planning process to engage all relevant stakeholders for effective methane mitigation and work with them to i) identify priority methane mitigation measures in major methane-emitting source sectors (agriculture, waste and fossil fuel production), ii) quantify the methane emission reduction potential and other benefits from the implementation of these measures, iii) develop implementation pathways for these mitigation measures that can be turned into concrete methane mitigation projects and iv) develop a methane roadmap that is endorsed at high-political level, and v) prepare recommendations for the inclusion of methane in Angola’s NDC 3.0.

Expected outputs: • Stakeholder engagement plan, stakeholder mapping, and reports from initial consultation meetings.

• Summary of existing methane emissions data and mapping of relevant plans and policies. • A work plan concerted with ministries to develop the draft methane roadmap. • A methane roadmap following the methodology and quality standards developed under the CCAC National Methane Roadmap Programme (M-RAP) as captured in the M-RAP Methane Roadmap template and its five building blocks. • Recommendations for the inclusion of methane in Angola’s NDC 3.0.

• First and second drafts completed based on the M-RAP methane roadmap template.

• Reports from stakeholder consultation meetings. • Draft and final plans for government endorsement and use of roadmap findings. • Periodic progress reports. • Progress reports tracking project advancement. • Event documentation, including announcements, website updates, and social media engagement.

– Advanced university degree (master’s degree or equivalent) in environmental sciences, environmental engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field is required.

A first university degree in combination with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted instead of the advanced degree.

– At least four years of professional experience in a field relevant to climate change, climate change modelling, and climate policy is required. – Excellent written and spoken communication skills and the capacity to establish productive relationships with stakeholders is required. – Experience in environmental public policy in Angola is desirable. – A good knowledge of the national context of Angola and experience in environmental public policy in Angola is desirable.

– Experience in multi-stakeholder engagement and working with government authorities in Africa is desirable.

– Knowledge in modelling of GHG and air pollution mitigation measures with different software including LEAP IBC is desirable. – Experience in NDC and national communications development and/or revision is desirable. – A good understanding of GHG dynamics, short-lived climate pollutants, climate change, and air pollution issues in Angola is desirable.
