The 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP), adopted by the UN General Assembly, is a key implementation mechanism for the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and its SDG 12, of which it is an integral part. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) serves as the Secretariat of the 10YFP, working closely with Member States and other stakeholders engaged in the One Planet network (www.oneplanetnetwork.org) which supports the implementation of the 10YFP.
The development, establishment and implementation of the 10YFP has relied on the convening power and expertise of the United Nations. Equally, United Nations agencies and programmes play a key role in the achievement of SDG 12.
The 10YFP and its One Planet network benefit from the engagement of the UN in all of the six thematic programmes, as well as in the Multi-Partner Trust Fund for SDG 12 and the SDG 12 Hub recently launched by the Secretariat.
In order to promote a more coherent and coordinated support to countries in implementing SDG 12 at the country level, it is important to make available the tools and resources developed by several UN entities that respond to the needs and knowledge gaps of the UN Country teams. To achieve that, there is a need to map and systematize those resources and tools, in a way that deepens the understanding of SDG 12 and its contribution in implementing the 2030 Agenda; and strengthen efforts to integrate SCP in the support provided by the UN system at the country level. The aim is to mainstream SDG 12 in the joint work of UN Country Teams (UNCTs), in particular through the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks.
The mapping exercise will be based on the assessment of needs and knowledge gaps of the UN Country Teams in relation to SDG 12 and Sustainable Consumption and Production, including circularity.
The outcome of such mapping will be fully integrated in the SDG 12 Hub and will take the form of SDG 12 Toolbox.

This Hub is an inter-agency effort coordinated by the 10YFP Secretariat, providing a central location for supporting national monitoring processes and official reporting of progress on the achievement of SDG 12. The SDG 12 Hub goes beyond presenting data and progress in an interactive format, allowing for country, regional and global analysis, and supporting official monitoring and reporting processes. It also aims to guide stakeholders, including UN Country Teams in support of SCP implementation, to apply SCP solutions and tools, and bring together existing communities of practice.

Further to the development of the Toolbox, national level activities are foreseen in the form of capacity building sessions based on needs and priorities of selected country teams
Having the SDG 12 toolbox as the basis, the sessions would be individually designed to address the priorities of each country team and aim to identify hotspots and intervention points that enable sustainable consumption and production, including circularity.

In this context, the 10YFP Secretariat is looking for a consultant to undertake the above-mentioned needs assessment, a mapping of resources and tools developed across the UN system that can support the implementation of the SDG 12, organize, and undertake national level sessions, and support activities related to Stockholm+50 and High-level Political Forum where UN inter-agency work on SDG 12 and SCP coordinated by the 10YFP Secretariat will be featured.
