The IPBES Transformative Change Assessment (2024) makes clear, fundamental and systemic change is essential to reverse current trends of biodiversity crisis. It calls for a rethinking of how societies value and relate to the natural world, recognising that well-being, justice and care for the planet are interconnected dimensions of sustainable prosperity. PLANET4B addresses these implementation challenges through an integrated focus on plural values, behavioural change, intersectionality, leverage points and transformational change.

PLANET4B 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 [...]

This 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.

Central 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 [...]

This deliverable presents the development and testing of the PLANET4B Biodiversity Engagement Course for Educators. By providing educators in secondary and higher education with transdisciplinary training and teaching materials on biodiversity and the biodiversity crisis, the Course aims to build educators’ capacity to teach about these themes through systems thinking, intersectionality and creative and experiential learning, thereby inspiring students to take transformative action.  The flexible, modular course builds on PLANET4B’s frameworks, case studies and engagement methods.

This 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.
