Description
This project seeks to develop and pilot a net-zero test that could be used by the UK Treasury to: (a) systematically assess the carbon impacts (emissions) associated with UK public spending, (b) inform budgetary decision-making, and (c) provide a basis for it to report and track alignment of public spending with the UK's with emissions reductions pathway and carbon budgets.
WWF-UK is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced consultant firm or specialist to develop the above test based on these objectives:
1. Review existing tools/approaches/mechanisms of relevance to development of a net zero test.
2. Phase 1: Develop a prototype net zero test methodology to enable assessment of the carbon impacts (emissions) associated with individual spending allocations, and the overall aggregate carbon emissions of the whole public spending package, and enable analysis of alignment with UK emissions pathway targets.
3. Phase 2: Demonstrate the application of this methodology by applying it to an agreed, plausible public spending package e.g. the budget, using a quantitative spreadsheet model or similar.
4. Provide recommendations to guide WWF's subsequent policy advocacy work around the net zero test and how it could be introduced into government policy/procedures.
Please refer to the attached Terms of Reference for full details about this project and how to respond. All responses to this call for proposals should be submitted by email to Isabella O'Dowd, Senior Climate Change Specialist, (email [email protected]) no later than 17:00 on 10th March 2021.
Additional information: WWF would prefer to contract these services using the attached standard terms and conditions. Please make it clear in your response should you wish to propose any alternative terms.
