brief PolicyResearch briefSupporting Seed Diversity for Resilient EU Agriculture
Seed diversity is central to adaptation. Locally adapted conservation varieties help crops withstand heat, drought, and pests, while reducing vulnerability to shocks. Where diversity is lost, systems become more fragile, and recovery is slower. Read the Policy Perspective from PLANET4B researchers and policy experts on how to preserve biodiversity in agriculture.
Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionalityResearch briefLearning to Care: Inspiring Action for Biodiversity and the Future
Are you a teacher looking for off-the-peg biodiversity lessons and activities for your students? Or a policymaker seeking to engage harder-to-reach communities around issues of biodiversity and inclusion? Or perhaps you are a sustainability ambassador at work, longing to interweave biodiversity into your business and the mindsets of your colleagues. Or do you represent anNGO? [...]
Behaviour Biodiversity brief intersectionality PolicyResearch briefPeople, Places, and Policies: Stories of Pathways for Transformative Change
How can we move beyond well-worn communication panels, alarming statistics, and broad statements? The PLANET4B project addresses this challenge, and co-created place-based experiments and examined sector-based examples that reveal leverage points and enabling conditions for transformative change at the individual, community, and institutional levels. The document briefly summarizes the comprehensive analysis of the eleven transformative [...]

Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionality PolicyResearch reportPLANET4B recognises the critical role of policy and business actors as agents of change in reducing biodiversity loss and the importance of using collaborative methods to jointly identify solutions for reducing biodiversity loss. In this regard, the project hosted six workshops with representatives from research, policy and business to discuss, develop and validate a series of transformative pathways and transformative methods for improving the prioritisation of biodiversity in a range [...]
Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionality Policy researchResearch reportThis Deliverable is useful for policymakers and business actors who want to better understand how PLANET4B’s research can improve the prioritisation of biodiversity in policy and business processes. The findings in this Deliverable will also be useful to other Horizon Europe-funded projects involved in researching solutions for integrating biodiversity into policy and business processes.
Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionality Policy researchResearch reportCentral to PLANET4B’s approach has been the recognition that transformation is not the responsibility of one sector or actor alone. It requires the active participation of diverse enabling players – including civil society organisations, policymakers and businesses – who shape decisions, practices and priorities across scales. To support these enabling players, PLANET4B has developed three audience-specific guidelines, each tailored to the distinct roles, capacities and contexts of civil society, policy [...]
Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionality Policy researchResearch reportThis Updated Synergies Strategy forms one of the deliverables of mapping synergies and creating cooperation with existing initiatives and projects led by UNEP-WCMC in the PLANET4B project. The purpose of this Updated Synergy Strategy is firstly to provide a review of progress in the implementation of the initial Synergy Strategy, and secondly to expand on possibilities for further collaborations with projects and initiatives beyond the lifetime of the PLANET4B project.
Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionality Policy researchResearch reportThis report presents the Compendium of 11 Transformative Change Stories developed within the PLANET4B project. The stories show how biodiversity-related decision-making is inseparable from social practices, values, identities, and institutions, and how participatory approaches can generate pathways toward more just and biodiversity-positive futures. The 11 stories cover two clusters: five place-based cases focusing on intersectional nature recreation and biodiversity stewardship in Oslo, city food for biodiversity and inclusion in Graz, [...]
Biodiversity brief intersectionality PolicyResearch briefCurrent 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 [...]
