SPARK4B+ Project Kicks Off: Sparking Alternative Pathways to a Biodiversity-Positive, Just Future
Coventry, UK — What would it take to build economies that work for people and nature alike, instead of at their expense? The paradigm driving today’s decisions (growth at any cost) continues to fuel biodiversity loss, climate change and inequality, even as credible alternatives already exist in pockets around the world. The challenge is turning those scattered alternatives into pathways that policymakers, businesses and communities can actually follow. To take on that challenge, the SPARK4B+ Horizon Europe project officially launched on 1 September 2026, with the consortium convening a week later for its kick-off meeting in Coventry, UK, on 8 September.
