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.

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.

The document provides a brief summary of the Report on pre-test and pre-validation of contextualised intervention methods, which describes and analyses the methodologies applied, pre-tested, and adapted by the PLANET4B case studies.

The success of any research is based on well-defined theories and on the accurate methodology used by the researchers. But working on transdisciplanry researches can be a special challange. What is the key to find a common language and develop a common working methodology between the academic researchers, practice partners and the societal stakeholders? How can we apply theoretical frameworks into research and how do we manage the limitations? Read about [...]
