And, one representative from the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and one from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee helps steer the initiative by providing strategic advice on overall vision, direction, and growth to both the implementing partners and the Donor Oversight Committee. The Advisory Committee also guides the development of the ICAT series of guidance and the capacity building work with the participating countries. The Advisory Committee convenes at least twice a year. Members are appointed for a 1-2 year term. The first meeting of the committee took place on 24 October 2016.
