Our office in Jakarta, Indonesia is looking for an Urban Low Emission
Development Strategy (Urban-LEDS) consultant to support the Urban-LEDS II
implementation in Indonesia.
*ABOUT THE URBAN-LEDS II PROJECT*
*Accelerating climate action through the promotion of Urban Low Emission
Development Strategies (Urban-LEDS II)*
UN-Habitat and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability are jointly
implementing the Urban-LEDS II project: Accelerating climate action through
the promotion of Urban Low Emission Development Strategies in more than 60
cities worldwide in the Urban-LEDS II project, using a multilevel
governance approach to urban climate action. The project is funded by the
European Union.
Through the Urban-LEDS II project, the local governments of selected cities
are guided to create community-scale Urban Low Emissions Development
Strategies (Urban LEDS) that also, address climate resilience. These will
be aligned to and ideally inform the Nationally Determined Contributions
(NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), and implementation of these
plans will start in the project lifetime.
Further, local governments will be supported to develop pilot projects and
finance models for their Urban LEDS implementation. The overall Urban-LEDS
II project aims to strengthen cooperation and information sharing across
national and local governments, offering an integrated Measuring,
Reporting, and Verification (MRV) concept and guidance on multilevel
governance, to support all levels of government to better understand the
contribution of local level developments to support achieving national and
global climate and sustainability goals. The project runs from April 2017
till March 2021.
*SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES*
1. Enhance vertical and horizontal integration of climate action in
support of National and Local Strategies and Policies;
