transformation
Main objectives

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.

The five DAISY case studies will help us understand transformation in practice. We explore their transformative potential in their local contexts, focusing on motivations, approaches, and the role of socio-technological innovations. They will amplify their biodiversity and equity-related change, connect with similar initiatives and reflect on enablers and challenges at local, national, and EU levels during the project.
