Description

Please read RfQ for full information.

We are looking for a research and learning partner who can help us map approaches to justice-led conservation design, governance and management across the UK. This mapping will be used to design an appropriate justice-led methodology to pilot in our Norfolk and Pembrokeshire programmes, and possibly other future wholescape pilots in the UK

In particular, we seek to understand the following in a UK context:

• The conditions in which justice-led approaches are effective or ineffective in promoting social equity and nature restoration outcomes.
• Interventions that help communities and social groups address drivers of social, economic, and political marginalisation/exclusion.
• Approaches that strengthen agency, voice and empowerment of most affected social groups through nature conservation and restoration.
• How social equity outcomes are valued and measured and by whom.
• The intended and unintended consequences of justice-led approaches for nature conservation and restoration.
• How tensions and challenges in design and management are surfaced, named, addressed and the impacts of these actions.
• Examples of equitable governance, particularly where community members unaffiliated to interest groups have decision making power within conservation programmes.
• The role and positionality of WWF-UK, in facilitating and/or supporting justice-led conservation.
• Differences in approaches and impacts between the nations within the UK and in urban areas versus rural and coastal locations.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLES AND TIMEFRAMES

The contract will be from June 1 to 30 August 2023 and include the following deliverables:

• Inception meeting to review and agree methodology, delivery plan and key dates.
• Meetings scheduled at regular times throughout the mapping process to enable co-creation and provide support for the research partner.
• Mapping and presentation of mapping.
• Recommendations for WWF-UK on applying and/or supporting justice-led approaches to nature conservation and restoration in the UK across different nations and regions.
• Pilot methodology for Norfolk and Pembrokeshire specifically.
