ACCTING Report on Research Line 2: Exploring Behavioural Change at Places Affected by Biodiversity Change from the Perspective of Vulnerable Groups

This report presents a summary of findings from Research Line 7 of ACCTING’s second cycle of experimental studies, which draws on data gathered from 87 quasi-experimental case studies conducted across thirteen countries between December 2023 and August 2024. Each research line explores sustainability and behavioural change within the framework of a specific European Green Deal policy area—including climate change, biodiversity, energy, food, and transport. This report focuses on biodiversity land use restriction and pro-nature change, and more specifically on places and cases affected by biodiversity change where vulnerable people come together to engage in caretaking activities for nature, examining how individual and collective behavioural change occurs while such care-taking actions are conducted by vulnerable people and/or in marginalised settings.
