Terms of Reference (ToR) 

For Consultancy Services on

Local-Level Policies Formulation on Climate Change

Rationale:

For creating greater impact of its program, RDC Nepal has been working on advocacy & influencing on Climate Change, Disaster Management & another relevant sector. Since April 2023, RDC Nepal has been implementing Oxfam funded “Climate Change Adaptation & Advocacy Project (C-CAAP) in Nepal” at Chandrapur municipality, Rautahat district, Madhesh Province, Nepal. While implementing the programs, RDC Nepal believes to build climate friendly environment through climate smart works in all the aspects. Climate change poses significant challenges to communities affecting various aspects of life including agriculture, health and livelihood and many more. At the local level, the effects of climate change, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, shifting precipitation patterns, and sea-level rise, are already being felt and are expected to intensify in the coming years. As local governments are at the forefront of responding to these impacts, there is an urgent need to develop and implement context-specific climate change policies and strategies that address both mitigation and adaptation.

This ToR outlines the process for formulating local-level policy on climate change, with a focus on promoting climate resilience, sustainability, and the integration of climate considerations into development planning.
