Current main trends in the five key sectors —agriculture, education, the fashion industry, finance, and trade— contribute to biodiversity loss by driving resource exploitation and overuse through globalised, standardised systems. PLANET4B’s research report Mapping of Leverage Points and Transformative Pathways for Upscaling in the EU and Global Context for Five Sectors identifies key leverage points that could trigger systemic change in these sectors. Its policy recommendations provide guidance on integrating [...]

This report maps leverage points and transformative pathways for enhancing transformative change in five sectors – agriculture, finance, trade, education, and fashion– across both EU and global contexts, based on the analysis conducted within the PLANET4B project and drawing from six extensive sector based cases within this project.

Who needs to be convinced that children with disabilities should have opportunities to connect with nature and experience its closeness? Can a local chef, a religious leader, or a school principal play a key role in preserving biodiversity? Can Amazonian Indigenous communities influence the ecological footprint of Europeans? What could replace fast fashion if we want to protect the planet? These questions were among those explored by participants of the PLANET4B [...]

This report summarises the results of system mapping and leverage points from all case studies conducted within the PLANET4B project, which aims to foster transformative change in biodiversity decision-making. […]

The latest analysis of the PLANET4B project - Transdisciplinary diagnostic framework for biodiversity decision-making assessment - summarises the results of nearly one and a half years of intensive methodological research. This comprehensive study proposes a methodological framework that helps examine decision-making and influencing decisions about biodiversity by involving numerous scientific disciplines. Read about the findings of our latest research report in brief.

To increase cooperation among the Transformative Change Cluster (TCC) Horizon Europe projects, three working groups were created involving relevant projects.  The action plan will be built upon and expanded throughout the lifecycle of the projects that make up Working Group 3 through regular collaborative partner input and feedback from members of the working group as well as across the two other TCC working groups. This joint action plan works as [...]
