eC2: Study on Climate and Natural Hazard-Induced Migration in Vietnam

Deadline:  20-Jun-2022 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)global-warming-climate-change-tree_1big_stock2

Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. Given Vietnams concentration of both population and industry in low-lying coastal areas and river
deltas, sea level rise poses a particular risk to continued development in the country.
The World Bank East Asia and the Pacific (EAP1) is conducting a Study on Climate and Natural Hazard-Induced Migration in Vietnam. The objective of the research is to better understand how vulnerable population groups in urban and rural settings projected to see high climate induced in- and out-migration are particularly (and differently) affected by climate change, what adaptation measures are currently being employed, and what policy makers and government programs might do to reduce barriers or facilitate opportunities for more effective and inclusive adaptation to climate change. In so doing, the research would help to better understand and respond to disaster risks, to reduce the number of people adversely affected by disasters, and to promote adaptation that leverages community resilience. The World Bank East Asia and the Pacific (EAP1) is looking for a qualified and experienced research firm or organization based in Vietnam to carry out the analytical work. If you encounter technical difficulties while uploading documents, please send an e-mail to the Help Desk at wbgeconsultant@worldbank.org.

Deadline: 20-Jun-2022 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)Forestry

Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. Forests play a crucial role in averting climate catastrophe. The World Bank East Asia and the Pacific (EAP1) is conducting a study on Exploring the Links between Climate Change, Migration and Livelihood in Forest Communities in Vietnam. The objective of this analytical work is to understand the links between climate change impacts, migration, and livelihood strategies among forest communities in Vietnam. It will examine the impacts of climate change on forest communities, which include identifying differential vulnerabilities faced by forest communities and exploring communities perceptions, experiences, and responses toward climate change impacts in relation to livelihood strategies (including through migration), food security, and other areas of interest. This in turn would help in identifying

Climate change is a major risk to good development outcomes, and the World Bank Group is committed to playing a role in helping countries integrate climate action into their core development agendas. The Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) aim to help countries shift from addressing adaptation as an incremental cost and isolated investment to systematically incorporating climate risks and opportunities at every phase of policy planning, investment design, implementation and evaluation of development outcomes.

The objective of this activity is to support the Government of Kerala, India, in strengthening their building regulatory frameworks through conducting a Building Regulatory Capacity Assessment in Kerala and facilitating dialogue with Government counterparts and relevant stakeholders. The assessments will create a baseline for current capacity and gaps in the building regulatory framework across three critical components of building regulatory frameworks. The outputs of these assessments will include in-depth capacity and gap analyses and reform implementation plans for each country, developed in consultation with the Government of Kerala, with recommendations for select aspects of land use, energy efficiency, building and fire code administration. The desired outcome of this engagement is to support critical discussions between public authorities and other relevant stakeholders and provide an analytical basis and recommendations for initiating building regulatory reforms.
