Climate Change Study for The Mournes, Northern Ireland .

The purpose of this RFP is to invite a list of possible suppliers to provide the Trust with a proposal for the provision of a review of historic satellite imagery and development of a climate change study for the Mournes. This will allow the Trust to understand which supplier will be capable of meeting the requirements and to identify a preferred supplier based on the information returned.

The National Trust is seeking a total cost proposal from a suitably qualified Consultant to deliver the following:

1. Analysis of satellite imagery (from 1970's - present day)

Review and analysis of historic satellite imagery to determine trends in the changes to the landscape (for example, habitat changes, wildfire scars, erosion etc.) across the High Mournes and environs. The Consultant will need to source the satellite imagery, for example, through the Sentinel Hub, and include any cost for this within their fee proposal.

2. Development of a climate change study examining the effects of climate change on the Mournes and how management should change to address it. The climate change study should have two elements: adaptation and mitigation. The study also needs to include stakeholder engagement to ensure that any proposed changes could be delivered in a way that protects people's interest in the Mournes and to assess the benefits of a landscape scale approach to mitigation and adaptation (i.e. collaboration between landowners/land managers) compared to a piecemeal
