77000000 - Environmental Services DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS The United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON), on behalf of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), invites qualified and interested firms to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to participate in an upcoming solicitation for the provision of technical assistance for Enhancing Weather and Climate Data Management Innovation in Tajikistan through AI and Observation-Based High-Resolution Data Management Platform. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), on behalf of CTCN, seeks to engage a qualified consulting firm to provide the technical assistance requested and endorsed by the National Designated Entity (NDE) of Tajikistan. The objective of this assignment is to enhance Tajikistan’s climate resilience by developing and piloting an AI-enabled climate data management and quality control system that integrates ground-based and satellite observations, and by strengthening institutional capacity to generate and use reliable climate information for climate-informed decision-making. Tajikistan is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its dependence on glacier-fed hydrological systems. The country has already lost approximately 30% of its glacier area since 1930, with projections indicating further losses of 15–20% by 2050. Rising temperatures, increasing frequency of extreme weather events, and water stress are intensifying risks across the water–energy–food nexus. Water-related hazards account for over 70% of natural disasters and cause economic losses of up to 1.4% of GDP annually. Despite these risks, Tajikistan lacks high-resolution, real-time climate data necessary for effective water resource management, disaster risk reduction, and climate adaptation. Current hydrometeorological systems rely heavily on sparse ground observations with limited integration of satellite-based data and advanced analytics. Institutional and technical constraints further limit the capacity …
