## Summary

The procurement process involves a tender titled "The gendered impact of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation," initiated by the DEFRA Network eTendering Portal in London, United Kingdom. This project falls within the research consultancy services industry category, with the procurement method being an open procedure above the threshold. The tender period ended on 28 December 2021, and the contract has an active status that commenced on 24 January 2022, concluding on 31 March 2022.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in environmental research and gender studies. Companies equipped to provide insights into the intersection of biodiversity loss and gender issues will find this tender highly relevant. By competing for this project, businesses can enhance their reputations and engage in meaningful policy development while contributing to addressing significant environmental challenges.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to provide insight on the differential impacts of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation on women. The project should also identify knowledge gaps in extant evidence on gender and biodiversity, identify new evidence to fill the gaps identified, and to develop policy recommendations and potential actions governments and other actors can take to address these issues. Due to persisting gender inequalities, women and men experience the impacts of environmental degradation and biodiversity loss differently. Heavier reliance on natural resources, differences in the rights and access to land, biological resources and ecosystem services, and gender-based differences and inequalities (or gaps) which stem from cultural norms which tend to favour men, mean that the impacts of biodiversity loss are felt more acutely by women. This is particularly true of women from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds who face multiple inequalities exacerbating effects on health and livelihoods. However, the existing literature on the gendered impacts of environmental degradation for both developed and developing countries focuses largely on the links between gender and climate change. There is a lack of evidence addressing the links between gender and biodiversity loss/environmental degradation across a range of topics, including differential outcomes and the inclusion of women and other marginalised groups in developing solutions. It is crucial for policy makers to better understand how their domestic and international actions and policies can exacerbate these unequal impacts in their own and developing countries.To better understand the current body of evidence and ensure this is mainstreamed into our international negotiations and policy at multilateral fora, DEFRA is looking to fund a report reviewing the existing evidence (synthesising it and identifying knowledge gaps), source new evidence to address the gaps identified and propose policy
