The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the international environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), hosted by UNEP, seeks to engage a qualified national consultant in Cambodia to provide technical support for the development of construction- and operational-phase implementation guidelines for the country's green building regulatory framework, focusing on compliance monitoring, enforcement, commissioning, and building operations. This assignment is one of two complementary national consultancies supporting the roll-out of Cambodia's green building regulations; a separate consultant, engaged under a distinct assignment, will focus on building design implementation guidelines. UNEP is working closely with the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) and the Ministry of Environment (MoE) to advance Cambodia's green building agenda. Building on progress made in developing a green building regulatory framework, GlobalABC is supporting the Government in preparing implementation guidelines to facilitate the effective rollout of the regulations. To ensure the guidelines are aligned with national priorities, institutional arrangements, and local stakeholder needs, a national consultant will be engaged to provide technical and coordination support.
