Résumé

The IUCN SSC CEC Behaviour Change Task Force conducted this needs assessment to understand the barriers and opportunities for mainstreaming behaviour change in biodiversity conservation within the IUCN network and beyond, thereby contributing to global nature conservation efforts. Respondents acknowledged the importance of Conservation Behaviour Change in modern conservation efforts, highlighting its growing relevance. Their contributions led to the identification of two major clusters of findings: one centred on “What is holding back conservation behaviour change?” and another on “What is needed to promote behaviour change adoption?” These clusters can be interpreted as barriers to, and needs for, the mainstreaming of behaviour change. The main barriers identified included an important gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical application of behaviour change strategies, resource constraints, institutional resistance to the social sciences, social and economic pressures, and a predominance of informal training among conservationists rather than formal training. These challenges are further exacerbated by limited access to behavioural science expertise, making them difficult to address. To promote the adoption of behaviour change, participants highlighted the need for sustainable financial support, strategic collaborations, practical and accessible tools for implementing behaviour change, capacity-building opportunities, expert support, and centralised, curated, and easily accessible information hubs.
