People's Plan for Nature

Descriptions

The Wild Isles project, built around a landmark natural history TV series to be broadcast in early 2023, is a unique partnership between WWF and the RSPB. The project aims to inspire people in the UK to value and protect nature. It will encompass a full programme of activity incorporating public engagement, mobilisation, supporter growth, campaigns and advocacy. We're developing a first of its kind mobilisation programme built around the documentary series to inspire and activate audiences to take the urgent action needed to save the nature of our wild isles. It will also play a crucial enabling role in creating the nature-positive society so crucial to the political, economic and systems change needed to save nature and keep the world below 1.5C. To kick start this mobilisation programme, it is proposed we convene and run a participatory process in the run up to the broadcast of Wild Isles in 2023. This programme of work is called the People's Plan for Nature. The People's Plan for Nature will create a plan for everyone to work towards a nature-positive UK. The plan will be developed through a creative, innovative and inclusive participatory process. This will include an open idea generation phase and a citizens' assembly on nature. We believe adopting a participatory model is crucial to generate a public mandate for the protection and restoration of UK nature. We propose to run a participatory process which is drawn from the RAPID model of decision making, originally proposed by Bain & Co in a corporate context and adapted by the OECD's Future of Democracy Network for participatory democracy projects. We are inviting suppliers to tender for the delivery of this process. There are three lots, and suppliers can submit for one or multiple lots. RSPB is leading procurement for this project on behalf of the project partnership.
