Context
EU biodiversity policy aims to preserve, enhance, and restore biodiversity across various land types, including agricultural land, oceans, freshwater, cities, and wetlands. Although many biodiversity issues are human-driven, there is still limited research on the application of behavioural sciences to biodiversity.
Goals
This project aims to establish a foundation for a behavioural research agenda aligned with future biodiversity policymaking. It will facilitate dialogue among relevant policymakers, behavioural scientists, and natural scientists to pave the way for this research.
Methods
- Literature Review: Examining behavioural insights applied to biodiversity.
- Media Discourse Analysis: Analyzing how biodiversity is discussed across all 27 EU Member States.
- Behavioural Scientists Survey: Gathering insights from behavioural scientists working on biodiversity and/or climate issues to assess current work and future prospects.
- Natural Scientists Survey: Understanding the behavioural insights needs of natural scientists to complement their research.
- Workshop: Bringing together scientists and policymakers from relevant DGs, organized around the evidence collected from the above activities.
Expected outcomes
- Literature Review Report: A comprehensive document summarizing key behavioural insights applied to biodiversity.
- Final Report: A synthesized report compiling results from all workstreams, providing analysis and insights to contextualize and interpret the findings effectively.
