## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for a research project titled "Scotland's international environmental impact: evidence base and policy levers." The project aims to develop the Environment Strategy for Scotland by providing an evidence base to inform the development of a pathway for achieving sustainable global citizenship. The contract was awarded to Global Footprint Network with a value of £41,098 GBP. The procurement stage was marked as complete, and the contract was signed on 7th November 2022 in Glasgow, UK.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies interested in environmental research and policy development. Businesses specializing in environmental consulting, sustainability analysis, and international policy advising would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The Scottish Government is conducting an open procedure for services procurement, with a focus on developing a sustainable international footprint strategy based on sound evidence and policy recommendations. The tender submission deadline was 3rd October 2022, providing interested businesses with a chance to contribute to Scotland's environmental strategy.

## Notice

The research project will support the development of the Environment Strategy for Scotland. In particular, it will provide an evidence base needed to inform the development of a 'pathway' for achieving one of the Strategy's outcomes: 'We are responsible global citizens with a sustainable international footprint'. Currently the evidence base for understanding and quantifying Scotland's global footprint often relates more to UK level impacts or specific sectors, with a need for a more comprehensive and Scotland-specific evidence base. To address this gap, the proposed research aims to gather and analyse existing sources of evidence to draw conclusions on the nature and extent of Scotland's international environmental impact and recommend policy levers that could be used most effectively by the Scottish Government to improve the sustainability of this impact. The outputs will help to inform the development of the 'outcome pathway' for the Environment Strategy outcome on Scotland's international footprint.
