Title: Request for Proposal (RFP) - Technical Support to World No Tobacco Day 2022 campaign

Overview
Tobacco use is a well-documented threat to global health, and in the area of tobacco control, extensive work has been done to communicate the health risks of tobacco use and to reduce the demand for tobacco through effective policy interventions. What has been less discussed or documented are the environmental health risks of tobacco cultivation, production, distribution, consumption and waste. The harmful impact of the tobacco industry on the environment is vast and growing, and has thus far received relatively little attention from researchers and policy-makers.

The environmental consequences of tobacco use move it from being a human problem to a planetary problem. It is not just about the lives of tobacco users and those around them, or even those involved in tobacco production. Tobacco can no longer be categorized simply as a health threat - it is a threat to human development as a whole.

World No Tobacco Day 2022 will aim to:

Give tobacco users one extra reason to quit tobacco use;
Raise awareness about the environmental impact of tobacco - from cultivation, production, distribution, use and waste - among the general public and policy makers;
Expose tobacco industry tactics and efforts to “greenwash” its reputation and products by marketing themselves as environmentally friendly;
Encourage municipalities/governments/policy makers to apply the Extended Producer Responsibility policy principle to externalize the costs of tobacco product waste to impose them on tobacco and related industries;
Urge governments/policy makers to implement supply and demand reduction tobacco control measures to minimize the environmental impact of tobacco.

To support the development of the World No Tobacco Day 2022 brochure and resource toolkit, WHO TFI is looking to engage individuals and institutions to help:

Determine environmental impact of tobacco throughout its life cycle
Determine environmental gains due to shifting from tobacco growing
Determine the global impact of nicotine and tobacco product waste
Calculate environmental gains when tobacco users quit and when governments effectively implement tobacco control measures.
