WRI intends to award a two-year cost reimbursement type framework (or “open) contract for contributions
to WRI National Climate Action (WRI-NCA) and New Climate Economy (NCE) technical work supporting
climate action and environmental sustainability policies in client countries as well as with other

The overall scope of work is for ongoing development of empirical frameworks, modeling, research and
engagement activities that will allow for policy identification, design, decision making and evaluation.
As part of support activities to governments and other development partners on areas of green growth,
environmental sustainability and low carbon development, all aligned to countries’ Sustainable
Development Goals, the vendor will generate agreed-upon tools and methods useful for engagement
activities, capacity building, policy identification, scenario analyses, and policy assessments for the
charting of green low-carbon development pathways in targeted countries or regions.
A core set of tools or models to be developed refer to integrated, macro representations of the
environment and socio-economic systems, including climate impacts, for agreed upon countries, regions
within countries or groups of countries, which are to be developed, preferably, based on System Thinking
principles and built using System Dynamics tools. Alternative model (country or region specific) renditions
built by the vendor will be constructed from scratch, based on country or region-specific characteristics
and incorporating agreed upon policy structures. Models will be calibrated using data (national or
international sources) agreed upon with relevant stakeholders, and scenarios will be produced taking into
consideration and insights from WRI-NCA, NCE and other partners. Models generated by the vendor will
become propriety of client countries or institutions. As part of the work, the vendor will engage with WRINCA, NCE, country policymakers, and other stakeholders with a goal to advance technical support on the
basis of agreed upon Terms of References.
