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 reportKnowledge products, including synthesis of the applicability of behaviour science and intersectionality for prioritising biodiversity into relevant EU and global processes
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 [...]

Behaviour Biodiversity researchWorkshop reportThe aim of the joint working methodology is to understand each other's knowledge base, mindset and expectations, so that project partners (academics, practice partners and societal stakeholders) can work effectively on common research topics. To address this challenge, social science theories and methodologies applied in the project were debated in a workshop to explore their practical implications for research, interventions, policy, and communication. The report summarises the process and outcomes of [...]
Behaviour Biodiversity intersectionalityWorkshop reportOne of PLANET4B's working hypotheses is that societies need transformative change to halt and reverse the alarming rates of biodiversity loss. To address this need, PLANET4B has been working on analysing, testing, developing and synthesising intervention methods that go beyond traditional approaches (e.g., laws and regulations, markets and incentives, information) and can be implemented within the project’s case studies. To learn about the potential tools facilitating transformative change at various [...]
Behaviour PolicyWorkshop reportThe document summarises the results of the workshop on ‘theory of commonalities and conflicts’. The report provides a methodological description of the two-day workshop, where participants analysed the case studies of the project, using creative methods and an interactive approach. Which areas connecting strongly to biodiversity are covered in the case studies? What sort of creative methods did the participants used so far to develop each case study? Which theories [...]
Behaviour Biodiversity PolicyWorkshop reportDespite the potential of the framework, empirical applications of leverage points to test different types of interventions to trigger behavioural change towards biodiversity prioritisation, across sectors, geographies, and intersectionality dimensions, remain either largely absent or very fragmented. Thus, it is relevant to assess and collate theories of behaviour, decision-making and change for better understanding how they can inform biodiversity decision-making and action. This report presents the details of PLANET4B’s workshop on [...]
