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 change stories based on the project's case studies.    

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
