D4.1 Analytical framework detailed and specified for application within BioValue

This report documents the adaptation of the analytical framework developed by UFZ (Wittmer et al., 2021) to the project context. Section 4 seeks to set up the base and provide the theoretical background of the concepts of transformative change, transformative change for biodiversity and transformative change in the context of spatial planning used in BioValue. Section 5 provides a detailed description of the Wittmer et al. 2021 framework, together with the adapted version for the projects developed based on a series of discussions among the BioValue consortium. The last sections provide conclusions and the next steps that will be followed to continuously revisit and reflect upon this adapted framework to truly identify and provide recommendations seeking to leverage the transformative potential of spatial planning practices and instruments to enhance biodiversity.
