Request for Proposals: Technical Consultant - NbS for Cities and Adaptation
Title of the Assignment : Technical Consultant - NbS for Cities and AdaptationType: Consultancy Service AgreementWork location: RemoteSubmission deadline: 11 September 2026 PLEASE SEE THE TERMS OF REFERENCE ON OUR WEBSITE Naturescapes is an EU-funded project that supports decision-makers in understanding and applying Nature-based Solutions (NbS) at landscape scale. Its Functional Urban Area (FUA) framing and scorecard and its co-financing archetypes help assess NbS portfolios across climate, biodiversity, social justice, long-term sustainability, participation, synergies and trade-offs and sustainable finance opportunities. WWF's One Planet City Challenge (OPCC) and We Love Cities Campaign (WLC) provide an established platform to connect these tools with cities worldwide and amplify lessons through a global community of practice. The technical assistance will focus on Mendoza (Argentina), the Swakop Basin (Namibia), and the Punjab region (Pakistan). Across the three cases, the common entry point is water security and climate change adaptation, while activities and outputs will be tailored to local priorities, data, projects and institutional arrangements. The work will support the delivery of technical assistance to local governments to strengthen the planning and implementation of Nature-based Solutions for climate adaptation, while generating practical lessons and evidence to inform policy advocacy, knowledge sharing and communications across Naturescapes and the wider WWF network. The Technical Consultant will lead the diagnostic and technical assistance across the three city/watershed-landscapes, identify where Naturescapes tools and lessons can add value, support technical exchanges, and translate findings into policy briefings, roadmaps and strategic recommendations. The assignment is expected to move from strategy to implementation: the consultant will help identify and carry out agreed priority activities during the consultancy and recommend how they can be sustained or advanced after the assignment ends.
