The result of services is to support UNEP Cities Unit to lead an effort to develop a global program and partnership on Local Energy System Integration for an Affordable & Resilient Energy Transition that will bring together workstreams on cooling, buildings, district energy, transport, renewables and energy transition, and provide technical assistance to countries on integrated and decentralized energy system planning and implementation, with focus on the role of city and regional integrated energy planning. This will include research and development of a global publication and case studies, maintaining partnerships, preparing training materials, supporting UNEP at high-level global events, providing training and technical support to countries and cities, and preparing fundraising proposals.
