Questions and Answers

What does LC stand for in the PLANET4B project?2024-07-23T12:16:20+02:00

Learning Communities – linking to the intensive cases – help co-design the research process and reflect on the usefulness of the tested methods together with local stakeholders (e.g. urban youth, minority communities).

What does AB stand for in the PLANET4B project?2024-07-23T12:16:56+02:00

The sector-based extensive cases are supported by stakeholder boards (including experts and stakeholders from the given sectors, e.g fashion industry or trade), which are regularly consulted to ask for their feedback and benefit from their outreach and upscaling potential.

What kind of intervention methods are tested in the project?2024-07-23T11:38:31+02:00

PLANET4B is centred around the development and application of three complimentary sets of research intervention methods explored within 11 case studies.

Experiential learning games

Three games: a cooperative Biodiversity Food Governance board game, a Biodiversity Negotiation role-playing game, a biodiversity adaptation of falling blocks game; Jenga®, are at various stages of development and testing.

 

Attention, framing, nudging and social norms relevant techniques

While discussed throughout the project, to date, few cases apply these as primary interventions, although there are plans to use a choice-architecture experiment in Germany (putting different paper inlays in shopping trolleys to see if this triggers more sustainable shopping choices). Systematic behaviour observations proposed in Norway may also fall in this category.

 

Deliberative, creative and arts-based methods 

9 out of 11 cases have chosen to include deliberative, creative and arts-based methods in their approach, and often multiple within each case study (including photo-exhibition, storytelling, workshops, drama, filmmaking, excursions, and many others).

What is the role of intersectionality in the PLANET4B research methodology?2024-07-23T11:51:16+02:00

Intersectionality plays a crucial role in tackling the intertwining issues of inequalities and biodiversity loss. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics among various social categories and their effects on biodiversity.

The co-creation process facilitated by PLANET4B consortium has led to the development of a robust intersectional framework for future biodiversity case studies. This framework constitutes a significant step forward for intersectionality-based research and practice in biodiversity conservation.

Embracing intersectionality can challenge conventional notions of objectivity and distance in research, and pave the way for the creation of more inclusive and equitable biodiversity policies.

Where can I find an extended list of potential intervention methods?2024-07-23T12:05:30+02:00

The document Directory of Key Intervention Methods provides a unique collection of 100 different methods for improving biodiversity decision-making.

Does the project use the storytelling method? If so, what is your experience?2024-07-23T12:13:06+02:00

The technique was tested in the project workshop.

Where can I find the policy recommendations on prioritising biodiversity in decision-making?2024-07-23T12:51:29+02:00

Policy recommendations will be developed in the mature phase of the project based on the project’s scientific research. They will be published and disseminated in 2025.
