Resource description:

This action plan outlines the strategic approach taken by the BioValue project to foster collaboration within the Transformative Change for Biodiversity Cluster – a group of 11 Horizon Europe projects working toward systemic, biodiversity-positive change. The document focuses on identifying synergies across the projects, mapping stakeholder groups, and establishing shared actions to increase the impact, replication, and sustainability of project results.

The action plan includes a comprehensive stakeholder analysis, detailing actors across sectors such as agriculture, finance, climate, energy, and policy, and mapping them based on interest and impact. It presents seven exploitation strategies, ranging from knowledge transfer and advocacy to open-access tool development and academic dissemination.

It also defines a programme of joint activities, including stakeholder dialogues, impact-themed workshops, collaborative publications, and coordinated communication campaigns across platforms. The plan articulates how to contribute to three thematic groups focused on: (1) a nature-positive society, (2) production, trade and finance, and (3) values, norms, and societal agency for biodiversity.

By formalising clustering efforts and providing a framework for knowledge brokerage, this resource helps ensure the continuity of transformative change outcomes beyond project boundaries, and offers a replicable model for future EU-funded consortia aiming to influence biodiversity policy and practice.
