Background
Emissions Gap Report is one of UNEP’s flagship products. The report is a scientific assessment of the so-called ’emissions gap’ – the gap between anticipated emission levels in 2030, compared to levels consistent with a 2°C / 1.5° target. It is a yearly assessment of national pledges, which this year takes form of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) agreed to at COP21 in Paris. The report’s objective is to assess the size of the emissions gap, as well as opportunities for bridging the gap, focusing on key sectors and relevant policy instruments. This year, the report’s focus areas are on behaviour and lifestyle changes as well as on the shipping and aviation industries. It will also assess the impact of Covid-19 and of economic recovery packages on global emissions pathways.

Layout is to be done in pre-prepared template provided by UDP (2 Microsoft Word pages approximate equals 1 page in layout). Two rounds of proofreading/corrections should be included in the quoted price.
D: Infographics
Design and production of 12 infographics for production and delivery during the period 21 September – 23 October, 2020. Figures will be produced in an iterative process as UDP will be consulting the report authors as the graphic design is progressing, and the proposed quote should thus include two rounds of corrections.
Requirements
The proposal shall include a quote for each deliverable and the portfolio of the organisation submitting the proposal. Each quotes will be evaluated based on an assessment of the expert team experience and expertise, on the methodology proposed as well as on the stated price. A weighted average of these factors will provide a score which will guide the decision of the choice of the contractor for each deliverables. Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to Olivier Bois von Kursk at obvk@dtu.dk.
