About TRANSPATH

There is a widespread agreement among science and policy communities that conventional policies will not be enough to halt biodiversity loss or curb climate change. More urgent and ambitious ‘transformative changes’ are needed to the ways in which we live, and the ways in which our economies and societies use and relate to nature and natural resources.

In support of that, TRANSPATH aims to identify leverage points and interventions for triggering transformative changes at consumer, producer and organisational levels through inclusive deliberation. Launched on 1 November 2022, the project brings together leading academics, science-policy experts, and early-career professionals in the global North and South to engage with those who affect and are affected by trade regimes and associated ‘greening’ mechanisms.

Project website

Freshly launched, the TRANSPATH website (www.transpath.eu) provides online communication tools and routes, allowing easy access to information about the project. The platform already contains news and events sections, informing about future and past happenings. In addition, the public library section will contain all TRANSPATH articles as they come, as well as a separate section within the library with all relevant to the project publications. Finally, visitors can access all visual and electronic promotional materials in the media center.

Social media campaign

Behind every great project, there stands a great consortium. Each TRANSPATH member has a special contribution to the project with their unique background, expertise and knowledge. In order to highlight their importance to the project, a new social media campaign titled #TRANSPATHfaces has being launched. Every week, the campaign is featuring various project partners, their stories and roles within the project.
