Section 1 – Introduction 4. The Scottish Government (SG), is seeking to commission a Contractor to undertake a high level review of national and international academic and grey literature to develop an overview of the key types of behaviour changes by households and the general public that will have the greatest impact in achieving goals for biodiversity. This research project is being jointly promoted by the Environment Strategy team and Biodiversity Unit in the Scottish Government. Section 2 – Background & Context 5. The research project will support: a) The development of the Environment Strategy for Scotland. In particular, it will play a key role in informing the development of a ‘pathway’ for achieving one of the strategy’s outcomes, which focuses on the societal transformations in Scotland needed to help tackle the climate and nature emergencies. b) Implementation of the Scottish Biodiversity Delivery Plan and wider policy development and delivery on biodiversity, including the consideration of statutory nature restoration targets relating to citizens and society (for policy context on targets, see Tackling the Nature Emergency - strategic framework for biodiversity: consultation - gov.scot (www.gov.scot). c) The Environment Strategy is a statutory commitment under Continuity Act 2021, which requires Scottish Ministers to publish an ‘environmental policy strategy’ and to have due regard to it when developing policies.
