Call for tender for a senior sustainable development expert and 6 thematic experts, including one on Green Economy/SCP, for the review of the Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development

The 6 thematic areas to be addressed by the experts are:

1. Seas and coasts; including efforts towards reaching Good Environment Status of Mediterranean marine and coastal ecosystems
   
   
2. Natural resources, rural development and food; including links not only to marine and coastal, but also terrestrial habitats, and to fresh waters
   
   
3. Climate; including the impacts of climate change on natural resources and socioeconomic sectors and possible responses
   
   
4. Sustainable cities; including coastal urbanisation and Integrated Coastal Zone Management, land transport, waste management, infrastructure, housing and energy
   
   
5. Transition towards a green economy; including sustainable consumption and production
   
   
6. Governance, including financing, Aarhus Convention–related issues such as public participation, and cooperation.

The aim of the review is to update the Strategy in the light of the Rio+20 outcomes and the decision to launch an intergovernmental process to develop global Sustainable Development Goals for consideration by the UN General Assembly. This will ensure that the region remains a frontrunner in the area of environmental and sustainability governance.

The technical work supporting the review of the MSSD is being carried out by the UNEP/MAP through its Plan Bleu Regional Activity Centre, with the help of the other regional activity centres.

The call is open until Monday 4th August
