Call for Consultancy: Urban Heat Action Plan Evaluation

Increasing heat risks combined with rapid urbanization trends, especially in Africa and Southeast Asia, and aging population trends, for example in Europe, result in a need to scale action to prevent impacts on lives, health, and wellbeing. Recognizing this need, the Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) has been supporting heat action at multiple levels, from individual to household, community and city levels. One of these actions is advocating for and facilitating development of multi-stakeholder city heat action plans (HAP). HAP provides a framework for implementing, coordinating, and evaluating extreme heat action across different timescales in a respective city, in order to minimize the negative impacts of extreme heat on the health and livelihood of the city’s residents.

To date, GDPC and other organizations lack a credible methodology to measure the effectiveness of HAPs in different contexts (e.g. global south vs north, sizes of cities, and different climate zones). This consultancy seeks to develop and test a methodology to measure the effectiveness of HAPs to reduce heat-related morbidity and mortality, loss of livelihoods, and other impacts in cities.

Please review the attached Terms of Reference for details about this consultancy, expected deliverables, and how to apply. The deadline for submission of applications is 18 May 2025.
