Notice Title

PS23015 - Building An Economic Case For Environmental Science To Support A Prosperous And Environmentally Sustainable Bioeconomy

Notice Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a competitive procurement exercise. Brief Description of Requirement Bioeconomy refers to economic activity that uses renewable biological resources from land and sea, such as crops, forests, fish, animals and micro-organisms to produce goods (including food and materials), services and energy. It supports low carbon and circular economies, the transition away from fossil fuel energy and numerous adjacent sectors which are currently the by-products of fossil fuel production, for example petrochemicals. By optimising the use of biological resources from land and ocean, the bioeconomy maximises co-benefits, including the production of biomass, mitigating climate change and enhancing biodiversity. Nature based solutions and sustainable management of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems help regenerate natural ecosystems and respect maximum sustainable yields, safeguard multi-functionality of forests, avoid harmful pollution, and improve ecosystem resilience.
