Description

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This was made under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) was created in July 2016, to bring together responsibilities for business, industrial strategy, science, innovation, energy, and climate change. To find out more about our work visit the BEIS website at https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-businessenergy-and-in... One of BEIS's priorities is to drive ambitious action on climate change at home and abroad. The Global Carbon Finance Model (GLOCAF) is BEIS's in-house model of global decarbonisation scenarios and international carbon markets. It is used to provide a robust evidence base to inform: (i) UK international climate change policy (ii) Domestic climate change policy From an international perspective, outputs from the GLOCAF model are used to inform the UK's positions on the implementation of the Paris Agreement and other aspects of the UNFCCC negotiations processes. Domestically, GLOCAF outputs are used to inform analysis of measures to meet emissions targets included in domestic legislation, as set out in the carbon budgets orders and in the net zero 2050 target. GLOCAF currently allows modelling of up to 26 countries/regions (including emissions from international aviation and maritime transport as separate countries). Together, these countries/regions provide global coverage. For example, the Americas are currently split into six countries/regions: Canada, USA, Mexico, Rest of Central America, Brazil, and Rest of South America. GLOCAF can currently model up to 27 sectors. The aim of this project is to provide an updated dataset of agriculture, forestry and other land use [AFOLU] carbon dioxide and non-carbon dioxide emissions and abatement costs across the regional disaggregation. These will be used as inputs to the GLOCAF model for the AFOLU sector and basket of sub sectors within it such as deforestation, afforestation, etc..
