TA-10673 REG: Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Standards and Practices - Climate and Disaster Risk Specialist (E-059410-001)

1. Project objective

Objective and Purpose of the Assignment

In Mongolia, the risks of permafrost melt, floods, droughts, heat waves, and dzuds (harsh winter

condition) alongside geophysical hazards are posing challenges to transport infrastructure, requiring

changes in infrastructure design, operation and maintenance.

In response, Mongolia’s National Adaptation

Plan underscores the need for revisiting and implementing standards, norms, and regulations to

incorporate climate resilience and adaptation measures.

The specialist will support implementation of

activities in Mongolia.

The technical assistance (TA) will develop, update, and build capacity for climate-resilient transport

infrastructure standards in Mongolia.

Major activities will include (i) conducting research to identify

existing gaps and priorities; (ii) preparing guidance documents on climate-resilient infrastructure

standards for the transport sector in Mongolia, and (iii) supporting capacity building to develop and

implement the guidance documents.

The TA outputs will improve infrastructure resilience i

Scope of Work

The consultant will provide technical expertise in climate and disaster risk and resilience to develop a

guidance document for a climate-resilient infrastructure standards for Mongolia and the preparation of

capacity building activities.

The consultant will assess climate and disaster risks affecting transport

infrastructure in Mongolia (particularly road and railway) and propose incorporating appropriate

resilience measures into the infrastructure standards.

Detailed Tasks and/or Expected Output

The International Climate and Disaster Risk Specialist will:

i) Review existing climate and disaster risk assessments and provide an expert analysis of the climate

and disaster risks in Mongolia, which must include hazard, exposure, and vulnerability assessment for

Mongolia’s transport sector based on the latest climate and hydrological models, data, and authoritative

research papers, as well as the ongoing efforts for climate and disaster resilience including relevant

policies and regulations;

ii) Participate in the kick-off mission to Mongolia and attend online or in-person consultation meetings

with relevant government agencies to identify key priorities and challenges related to climate-resilient

infrastructure standards;

iii) Prepare briefing documents and slides for consultation meetings, summarizing the findings from the

desk research and literature reviews;

iv) Identify climate vulnerabilities for transport infrastructure through desk research, literature

reviews, field visits, interviews, and/or dat
