| Description: | Expression of Interest: Consultant for Climate sector specialist The carec institute (ci) through the asian development bank (adb) are engaging the services of international consultant (individual), with expertise and experience in climate change, water, agriculture, energy and regional cooperation across these sectors. In 2019-2020, the carec institute conducted a research project on the theme climate vulnerability, infrastructure and governance in carec region . The project provided an overview of current realities of climate change in 11 member countries through the prism of water, energy, and food nexus, economic and financial aspects, and governance. Additionally, the project created carec climate vulnerability index for the water sector which clearly demonstrated that the region will likely experience significant risks associated with climate change impacts unless the existing agricultural cropping systems, agricultural diversification programs, value chains, adaptation of water and land conservations technologies are revisited. Similarly, in 2021-2022, the carec institute continued its climate activities and realized the project regional climate vulnerability in carec and perspectives for regional cooperation. The project examined the climate vulnerabilities of central asias water, agriculture, and energy sectors at the province level, using an index-based approach that quantified their exposure, sensitivities, and adaptive capacities. As a climate exposure metrics for the water and agriculture sectors the study used projections of rivers discharge and agricultural productivity under rcp2. 6 and rcp8. 5 which are viewed as optimistic and pessimistic climate scenarios respectively. The energy sector assessment took into account the challenges associated with meeting projected increases in electricity demand, as well as a global imperative to achieve carbon neutrality by the middle of the century. Based on the findings of those two projects and predicted scenarios of changing climate in the region, and available policy datasets of countries and international development organizations, this new project, in turn, aims to analyze how climate inaction across the water, agriculture and energy sectors would affect the economies of central asian countries. The research will explore what damage inaction can bring to the respective sectors causing market failure, and how governments can act to mitigate the economic, social, and environmental losses. The research will also explore what policy gaps affecting climate inaction across these sectors, analyze the investment needs of the sectors and highlight the potential gains from improved intersectoral approach and regional cooperation. Hence, as implications of inaction the project implies the negative consequences of climate-induced damage to water, agriculture and energy sectors, and their implications for individuals, ecosystems, the economy, and society as a whole.
