Description

In order to address the climate and biodiversity crises and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the world needs a rapid scale-up and roll-out of Nature Based Solutions (NBS), i.e., projects which are explicitly designed to deliver positive impact for climate, nature and people.

WWF-UK requires a suitably experienced consultant, or consultancy firm to conduct the initial analysis of a portfolio of up to 12 NBS projects worldwide to assess and develop their potential for bankable solutions (i.e., initiatives which have potential to be funded by non-grant financing from public or private sector sources). This will involve working with partners to understand and assess their potential for bankability, the level of maturity of these bankable projects, and what support could help them move away from pure grant finance to blended or bankable solutions. The NBS projects are mainly based in Asia, Europe and North America and span a range of ecosystems and activities - for example mangrove restoration, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry and restoring inland wetlands.

Please refer to the attached Terms of Reference for full details about the scope of this requirement, the desired outputs and the information that is required to respond to this call for proposals. Please send proposals, by email to Anna Kitulagoda, Head of Nature Based Solutions, WWF-UK, Email: AKitulagoda@wwf.org.uk by 5pm on Thursday 13 May 2021.
