Not defined

Explores alternative economic models — beyond constant growth — that could better protect biodiversity and social equity.

Context

Today’s growth-focused economy is a major driver of biodiversity loss and inequality, but alternatives like degrowth or wellbeing economics remain untested and disconnected from mainstream policy. SPARK4B+ makes these alternative approaches concrete and testable, piloting them across six countries and seven sectors, from farming to finance.

Main objectives

1) Assess alternative socio-economic paradigms and governance models. 2) Develop credible visions and narratives through participatory methods. 3) Test pathways in Transformation Labs across six countries. 4) Build coalitions of champions to sustain biodiversity-positive change.

Main results

This project has only just begun. We will update the content as soon as results become available.
