About the project
The PLANET4B Horizon Europe research project (understanding Plural values, intersectionality, Leverage points, Attitudes, Norms, behaviour and social lEarning in Transformation for Biodiversity decision making) aims to understand and influence decision making affecting biodiversity. Through transdisciplinary, creative, action-orientated and participatory research including case studies, the project will collect and analyze theories, methods and good practices to bridge the gaps in knowledge and effective decision making. The findings will be synthesised and scaled up to EU and global levels to serve as inputs for policies, and for businesses and civil society about how transformative change can be triggered.
