CCAC Transportation Sector Expert for Brazil
Il y a 2 mois
The TRANSPORTATION Sector Expert will be responsible for supporting the Brazilian Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) in the elaboration of the TRANSPORTATION sector mitigation plan for the Plano Clima, with an integrated co-mitigation of GHGs and SLCPs approach.
The work will be conducted under the coordination of the Plano Clima Senior Technical Coordinator, following general guidance from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change as well as the CCAC and UNEP, and specific guidance from the respective focal point of the Ministry leading the Sectoral Plan.
As a result of the elaboration of the Brazilian National Climate Plan, it is expected that the proposed sectoral plan provides a clear set of actions in the TRANSPORTATION sector to be implemented by the government for aligning the Brazilian economy towards a trajectory consistent to the targets defined.
The sectoral plan should be integrated to a robust implementation strategy and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework.Work Location
Brasilia, home-based
Expected duration
8 months
Duties and Responsibilities
Convened by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, and representatives of the private sector, the environmental community, and other members of civil society.
The CCAC is the only international initiative working on integrated climate and clean air solutions to reduce the rate of near-term warming.
It focuses on fast action to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) including methane, black carbon, HFCs and tropospheric ozone.
More information on the CCAC is available at:
Brazil is a CCAC state partner having joined CCAC in 2023 and signed the Global Methane Pledge in 2021. The country has taken significant steps to reduce climate change including through planning and mitigation of SLCP. In recognition of the seriousness of the climate emergency, the government of Brazil is now committed to structuring a renewed and ambitious Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). In comparison to the proposition presented at COP 21, Brazil aims to achieve a 48% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2025 and 53% GHG emissions reduction by 2030. In the context of its NDC revision, the country expects yet to undertake an integrated air pollution and climate change mitigation approach which provides a substantial opportunity to enhance its ambition. This means the integration of SLCPs, such as methane, HFCs and black carbon, alongside CO2 and other GHG emissions, while articulating the co-benefits of SLCP reductions throughout different sectors that directly or indirectly influence their emissions or can leverage CO2 reduction. In September 2023, the Brazilian government restructured the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change – CIM, which will be an important locus for management, coordination, and articulation regarding the national climate policy. In addition to determining the correction of the Brazilian NDC to the levels of ambition that Brazil had initially proposed in 2015, the Committee established interministerial working groups to the Brazilian carbon market (SBCE) and to update the law that established the National Policy on Climate Change – PNMC. The CIM also established a Resolution that mandates updating the National Plan on Climate Change – Plano Clima, establishing two interministerial working groups to coordinate the work, one on mitigation and the other on adaptation. Plano Clima will be the main instrument for implementing climate policy, thus consolidating the strategies and goals of the Federal Government to achieve the objectives of the PNMC and the goals of the Brazilian NDC. The new Climate Plan will cover the period between 2024 and 2035 and will have national and sectoral mitigation and adaptation targets for the years 2030 and 2035, simultaneously compatible with the objective of climate neutrality. The mitigation component is expected to be developed with CCAC support and include Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), especially methane. The CCAC is therefore seeking an Expert for supporting the elaboration of the Transportation Sectoral Mitigation Plan for the Plano Clima, ensuring its compatibility with a strategy to co-mitigate emissions of GHGs and SLCPs.
Output expectations:
For the preparation of deliverable products, the priorities of the transport sector presented in the National Mitigation Strategy must be observed, which are: a)
Technological and productive development applied to electromobility and the use of alternative fuels, considering relevant issues such as the development of more efficient batteries, with national technology, solutions for reuse and disposal of batteries, recharging points.
prioritizing the implementation of free-flow that replaces toll gates with gantries, improving traffic flow; develop escape areas to prevent accidents and congestion; create charging points for electric vehicles, increasing the viability of these vehicles; establish eco-stops for refueling with alternative fuels, such as bulk CNG and biodiesel; and using sustainable, low-emission building materials such as recycled asphalt and porous concrete in road works
Other output expectations:
- Map of the current context of source of emissions of GHGs and SLCP and the existing mitigation policy framework in the Transportation sector of Brazil, highlighting the key drivers and regions, if applicable.
- Analysis of how the proposed sector plans actions can contribute to the promotion of a Just and Inclusive Transition (e.g. poverty and inequality reduction, food and nutritional security, pollution reduction and health, access to affordable energy, equitable share of cost of the climate transition, etc)
- Critical analysis of proposed course of actions considering the interfaces with other sectors and respective competence and influence power of the sector, such as: energy resources demand (electricity and fuels) agricultural production and logistics of cargo and passenger transport (agriculture and industry), urban mobility (cities)
- Set of priorities and goals for the sector for 2030 and indicative goals for 2035, based on inputs of sectoral focal points in government.
- Estimation of emission's reduction of proposed actions using an emissions policies simulation tool, with support of the Senior Technical Coordinator
- Required regulatory changes for enabling the course of mitigation action for the sector.
- Governance proposal and responsibilities for management, monitoring, and assessment of the sectorial action plan, including mechanisms of public participation and transparency
- Proposal of governance and responsibilities for management, monitoring, and assessment of the sectorial action plan, including public participation and transparency mechanisms.
- Brazil's enhanced transparency system aligned with the approach of carbon budgets technical presentations on relevant themes concerning sectoral mitigation levers and its implications, to be defined in alignment with CCAC and sectoral focal points in the government.
- Advanced university degree, master or equivalent in Engineering, Economics, Administration or other equivalent areas, with specialization in the areas of Transportation, Environmental Sciences, Natural Resources Management, or relevant fields of study.
- A firstlevel university degree in combination with 6 additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.
- A minimum of 8 years of practical experience in climate change policy development and advice in the Transportation sector in Brazil.
Special knowledge and skills:
- Technical knowledge about GHG emission inventories and mitigation measures in the transport sector is required;
- Technical expertise working with the transportation sector planning is required
- Indepth knowledge of the national plans, strategies, and policies related to climate change in Brazil is required.
- Proven ability to work under pressure, with tight deadlines is required

- Experience with integrated planning of the transport sector including highways, railways, airports, waterways and port is desired.
- Experience with Brazil's public sector institutions is an asset.
- Experience in climate finance is an asset.
- Experience with lowGHG alternative fuels is an asset;
- Experience with shortlived climate pollutants in Transport is an asset
- Familiarity with emissions policies simulation tools is an asset
