Background:
According to India’s second Biennial Update Report (BUR) to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) India emitted 2607.49 million tonnes CO2e (excluding
LULUCF) and 2306.3 million tonnes CO2e (including LULUCF) in 2014. Out of the total emissions,
the energy sector accounted for 73% and Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) accounted
for 8%. To meet the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target of reducing emission
intensity of the economy by 33-35% by 2030 compared to 2005 requires efforts across sectors
particularly in the industry. Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) and Renewable Energy Certificates
(REC) mechanism are some of the key mechanisms for reducing industrial emission intensity.
Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) are companies with not less than 51% of the paid-up share
capital held by either central or state government. The sectors covered by PSEs include sectors
like banking, insurance, petroleum, mining, power generation, power transmission, heavy
engineering, aviation, storage and public distribution, shipping and trading, steel etc. Considering
the significant presence of PSEs in the economy it is critical that these enterprises also contribute
to climate action in India.
Objective:
The specific objectives of the work are as follows:
- Conducting training needs assessment of PSE staff on the topics including climate change, carbon markets, carbon finance and carbon pricing.
- Development of training module for staff at PSEs on topics including climate change, carbon markets, carbon finance and carbon pricing
- Pilot testing of the module for feedback and finalization of modules.
- Publishing guidebook for developing and implementing climate change mitigation strategy for PSEs.
Tasks of the assignment:
In this context, the selected agency is expected to carry out following tasks within 4 Work packages as mentioned in the TOR:
Task 1: Conducting Training Needs Assessment of PSE staff on the topics including climate change, carbon markets, carbon finance and carbon pricing.
Task 2: Development of training module for PSEs on climate change, carbon markets, carbon finance and carbon pricing.
Task 3: Pilot Implementation of training module.
Task 4: Develop guidebook for developing and implementing climate change mitigation strategy for PSEs.
