Description

This project seeks to investigate the implications of a potential carbon tax on the food system and what implementing it could mean for delivering a Just Transition - policy solutions for managing and mitigating impacts on consumers and producers.

One of proposed ways to limit greenhouse gas emissions and improve on the issue of climate change is to introduce a carbon tax on companies. Under a carbon tax, the government sets a price that emitters must pay for each ton of greenhouse gas emissions they emit. This however will have a knock-on effect on the food system and how we provide affordable food for all.

To this end, WWF wishes to contract a suitably experienced party that can co-ordinate a research paper that assesses the potential implications of a carbon tax on the food value chain in the UK and begin to explore policy and implementation solutions to ensure a just transition.

Further details about the scope of this project and the desired outputs are described on the attached Consultant Brief.

WWF UK would welcome proposals by email by Friday 29th January 2020 to Seán Mallon Climate Change Specialist, WWFUK
(email smallon@wwf.org.uk). Proposals should should set out (and support with evidence where necessary) the proposed approach and methodology, relevant experience, an outline project plan and full costs and expenses.
