About the Role
The Palau Energy and Water Administration (PEWA) is the primary regulatory agency for the country’s water and energy sectors and serves as the former focal point for National Determined Contributions (NDCs). Since February of 2025, PEWA transferred its focal point responsibility to the Office of Climate Change (OCC) including managing datasets for developing NDCs and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventories. To effectively monitor, update, manage, develop, and report on NDCs and GHG datasets, a Mitigation Specialist and a Data Analyst (OCC) are needed.
The focus for the Mitigation Specialist is on two areas:
Area1) Provide substantive work on Palau’s current NDC, Enhanced NDC (herein NDC 3.0), and Palau’s long-term low-emission development strategy (LT-LEDS)
The Mitigation Specialist will track and report on developments made against first Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and develop Palau’s Enhanced NDC. The NDC 3.0 will build on the progress made in the current NDC with an implementation plan to achieve its targets. The outputs from the NDC and NDC 3.0 will inform the development of LT-LEDS – the final service output for this consultancy.
Area 2) Provide capacity training and support to the Data Analyst, who is supported through the CFCSP Programme on a separate TOR.
The other key area of this role is to provide training, mentoring, and technical assistance thereby achieving institutional capacity transfer to relevant stakeholders and OCC. By enhancing Palau’s capacity to meet its climate commitments, the Mitigation Specialist will play a crucial role contributing to national and international climate efforts.
