DAISY – DigitAl, technologIcal and Social innovation mixes enabling transformation for
biodiversity and equitY – will advance understanding of how specific mixes of interventions
including social-technological innovations can be used to induce transformation for biodiversity
and equity.
Socio-economic, political and behavioural processes
To understand which socio-economic, political and behavioural processes, and their interrelationships shape and enable our personal, political and practical ability to respond to the biodiversity crisis and how they impact on transformative change.
Tools, processes, interventions, innovations
To collect existing tools, processes, interventions and innovations that are conducive to triggering transformative change with the understanding of what enables them to address biodiversity loss and social inequity.
Support biodiversity and equity prioritisation
To create intervention mixes based on existing tools and innovations and apply them in practice to induce transformation in all three spheres (personal, political, practical) to support biodiversity and equity prioritisation in decision- and policymaking.
Case studies to test innovations
Innovation mixes will be tested and assessed for effectiveness in five seed innovation intensive case studies, within the domains of agri-food, education, energy and urban and regional development.
Do you ever wonder why we fail to take sufficient action against biodiversity loss and inequity, even when they threaten the very foundations of our society? Perhaps we lack the right tools.
Interested in how how digital technology shapes human-nature relationships, nature-relatedness and pro-environmental behaviour?
Within DAISY, Coventry University is offering a fully-funded PhD studentship under the theme Technologies of Care, exploring how digital technologies shape the way we relate to biodiversity and ecosystems.
