Notice Information

Notice Title

Great Ouse Collective Action Project Scoping

Notice Description

WRAP is a Global Environment Action NGO working with governments, businesses, NGOs and academia all over the world. We have offices in the UK, USA and Australia, and live projects in over 30 countries. Most of the everyday products we consume come from unsustainable systems. WRAP is working to transform those systems to create a thriving, sustainable world where Circular Living is commonplace. For the benefit of the climate, nature and people. WRAP's Water Roadmap is the delivery mechanism for the UK Food & Drink Pact target that 50% of the UK's fresh food is sourced from areas with sustainable water management. It also contributes to wider goals including UN Sustainable Development Goal 6, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience through nature-based solutions. As part of this, WRAP is supporting the development of Collective Action Projects in priority sourcing regions across the UK. These projects aim to identify shared water risks and coordinate cross-sector solutions with other NGOs, businesses, land managers, and local partners. The awarded organisation is being commissioned to deliver a scoping phase that will form the foundation for a future Collective Action Project that will tie into existing work in Norfolk and cover Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
