Background Climate finance has become a central pillar of international efforts to support climate adaptation, resilience‑building and the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). Despite the growing availability of climate finance through multilateral climate funds, development banks and bilateral mechanisms, many developing countries, particularly Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and other vulnerable countries, continue to face significant institutional and technical barriers in accessing and mobilizing these resources.
National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) play a critical role in supporting climate finance mobilization by providing the climate data, information, analysis and knowledge required for evidence‑based decision‑making, investment planning and climate risk management. Recognizing this role, the WMO has developed methodologies, technical guidance and capacity‑development activities to strengthen the contribution of NMHSs to climate finance processes. In particular, the publication Enhancing the Role of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services in Mobilizing Climate Finance at the National Level (WMO‑No. 1365) provides practical guidance on how NMHSs can contribute to national climate finance planning, investment design, stakeholder engagement and resource mobilization.
Building on the Climate Science Information for Climate Action (CSICA), WMO has been implementing a series of capacity‑development activities to strengthen the role of NMHSs in accessing and mobilizing climate finance. With the support of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), WMO successfully organized the first Consultative Meeting on Climate Science Information for Climate Finance and the 51st China Study Tour in 2024 and the WMO event on Climate Services to Enhance Access to Climate Finance for Senior Directors of NMHSs in 2025. During the two events, senior directors from NMHSs highlighted common challenges, including limited knowledge and information of climate finance mechanisms, insufficient capacity to develop investment‑ready proposals, and the need for continued access to practical guidance, tools and peer learning opportunities.
To respond to these needs and expand the reach and sustainability of its capacity‑development efforts, and as part of its 2026 Climate Finance Event Series, WMO is developing a self‑paced e‑learning course based on WMO‑No. 1365. The course is intended for NMHS senior management, climate finance focal points, and professionals engaged in national, regional and international climate finance initiatives. It will translate WMO guidance, methodologies, country experiences, case studies and lessons learned into a structured learning programme consisting of 4–6 thematic modules.
The purpose of this consultancy is to provide subject‑matter expertise and content design support for the development of the self‑paced e‑learning course. The consultant will develop the overall learning framework, prepare module content and learning materials, identify and document relevant case studies, and produce learner‑ready scripts and resources that can be transformed into an interactive e‑learning product by the instructional designer.
Duties and Responsibilities The Consultant will work under the overall supervision of the Head of the Climate Research and Information Section and will report biweekly to the Scientific Officer of the Section. The Consultant shall work collaboratively with the complementary consultant appointed by WMO. The completion of certain deliverables is dependent on the timely completion and review of corresponding deliverables produced by the other consultant. The development process will follow an iterative approach, with periodic joint reviews and revisions coordinated by the WMO Secretariat. Under this structure, the Consultant will:
1. Review WMO‑No. 1365 and related WMO publications, methodologies and technical resources relevant to NMHS engagement in climate finance.
2. In collaboration with WMO staff and the instructional designer, define the technical scope of the course and contribute to the development and validation of the intended learning outcomes.
