Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Tuesday 23rd July 2024 at 14:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Description of Requirement Climate Change Committee (CCC) invite you to this Request for Proposal for Projections of Climate Risks, Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures for Farmed Landscapes. The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report as produced in previous CCRAs. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report' (WA report) - will focus on the potential for key aspects of the UK adaptation challenge to reduce the climate risks threatening the achievement of key UK policy and societal outcomes and hence set out a vision for aspects of a well-adapted UK. This analysis will feed in the evidence base for understanding the climate resilience of UK farmed landscapes, with a focus on adaptation interventions that can reduce climate risks to these landscapes whilst supporting agricultural productivity, nature recovery and providing wider societal and ecosystem benefits. This analysis will look to: -Project and cost the expected climate impacts experienced across representatives of UK farmed landscapes from temperature and rainfall changes and drought in the 2030s and 2050s, including impacts on nature and agricultural productivity, without increased adaptation ambition. -Evidence the scale of benefits and the cost effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes to secure food production and enhance nature and provide wider societal and ecosystem service benefits. Assess the main co-benefits and trade-offs of these adaptation interventions. -Build a national scale scenario of cost-effective adaptation out to the 2050s.
