Description

Main purpose and scope:

We're looking for a consultant to conduct necessary desk research, identify and hold interviews as appropriate and deliver a narrative report which brings together the findings in our 'Eating for net zero and net positive' technical report (Blonk Sustainability Tools 2022) with other recent WWF work (to be confirmed).

The consultants should allow time and budget for:  
- Comprehensive desk research and report writing
- If agreed, conduct interviews with WWF-UK and external policy experts
- Prepare and participate in monthly meetings with the WWF working group 
- Prepare and participate in fortnightly update and check in calls with WWF project manager/team 

Deliverables:

-A ~60pp report accompanied by a shorter summary report for policymakers (~15pp), ready for design. 

The report must meet the following criteria: 
- Clearly communicate the dietary scenarios and their benefits (health and environment) in a way that resonates and cuts through with a policy audience (DEFRA, PHE, etc.) 
- Provide UK-specific policy recommendations based on data analyses already completed
- Explore how the Eatwell Guide is used at present, and what scope there is for expanded (or better targeted) use of the guidelines for interlinked health and environmental agendas

Please see attached document for more information on the Livewell project.
