Public Procurement: Integrated Strategies for air and climate mitigation measures to reduce emissions from the Agricultural Sector in the Nordic Countries.
Information
The Nordic working group for Climate and Air (NKL) and the Nordic Visions project Climate transition in the Nordics (KloN) have via Denmark’s Ministry of Environment published a procurement procedure of the project “NKL-2418 Integrated Strategies for air and climate mitigation measures to reduce emissions of Ammonia, Nitrogen, and Methane from the Agricultural Sector in the Nordic Countriesn”. The procurement procedure comprises an assessment to illustrate and evaluate existing approaches in the Nordic countries and develop new examples of integrated strategies aimed at reducing emissions of ammonia, nitrogen, and methane from the agricultural sector in the Nordic countries. By doing so, the project seeks to demonstrate and to share knowledge on how mitigating the negative impacts on both climate and air quality at the same time can serve to meet targets under several international agreements.
Project objectives
The overarching objective of this project is to illustrate and evaluate existing approaches in the Nordic countries and develop new examples of integrated strategies aimed at reducing emissions of ammonia, nitrogen, and methane from the agricultural sector in the Nordic countries. Strong incentives are needed to implement measures. An additional objective is to map both the existing and planned incentive mechanisms for both climate and air quality issues related to ammonia, nitrogen, and methane from the agricultural sector in the different Nordic countries and on an EU-level to improve knowledge sharing.
•Illustrate how existing and potential agricultural mitigation measures, their documented effects and integrated strategies can be formulated to simultaneously reduce emissions of ammonia, nitrogen and methane. Also showing by graphics how they contribute to fulfilment of the Nordic countries’ commitments under relevant international agreements and conventions related to air quality and climate.
•Provide a Nordic guide for policymakers that describes measures with potential to reduce ammonia, nitrogen and methane that benefit both air and climate as well as the effects (both synergies and conflicts) to other environmental and society goals.
•Mapping of the incentives for emission reductions related to climate and air in the agricultural sector in the Nordic countries as well as sharing knowledge and discuss possibilities between countries.
•Advise the Nordic countries on how integrated strategies in the agricultural sector can help fulfil commitments under various international conventions related to air quality and climate change.
Tasks, output and communication
The project will adopt an interdisciplinary approach and consist of literature reviews and in-depth technical and socio-economic analyses as well as communicative efforts to share knowledge between Nordic countries and beyond
1. A short project description
2. A main research report/mapping with a feasibility study
3. A policy brief
4. A power point presentation with the main results
5. Public webinar on main results
6. A presentation at a Nordic workshop in September
7. International outreach at UNFCCC COP29 and UNECE EB in November/December 2024.
8. A short final report with accounts for internal NCM administrative purposes
The Nordic steering group will decide on whether to publish the report and policy brief within the NCM web publication series. The supplier must present the manuscript and necessary summary (both English and a Scandinavian language), draft twitter and linked in text etc. according to the NCM publication guidelines:
