Description

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is looking to widen its understanding of policy responses that both address recent economic pressures on households and businesses and deliver potential for accelerated emissions reduction. In addressing the increases in household and business costs that have resulted from energy prices pushing up the rate of inflation, Government should seek to identify options that also contribute to the UK's decarbonisation goals. Many countries are introducing policies with these dual aims in response to similar challenges and learning lessons from their efforts can inform a well-targeted policy response in the UK. The CCC is looking to analyse the international policy landscape in several key sectors, including buildings and transport. To inform this work, the CCC is tendering a project 1) to establish an up-to-date summary of the key policies, including where relevant those targeted primarily at shifting behaviours, 2) where possible, evaluating (both quantitively and qualitatively as appropriate) these policies against a set of pre-determined criteria and analysing their potential effectiveness in a UK context and 3) identifying where and why potential cost-saving climate policies exist but have not been pursued in the UK and suggesting policies that would fill these identified gaps. Given the fast-paced nature of the crisis, the tendered work needs to be delivered by 19/04/2023, at a cost of £40,000 - £50,000 excluding VAT. The CCC's past reports are available here: http://www.theccc.org.uk/reports/. *** See specification for more detail ***
