Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redes• In the 2024 financial year, the Center for Behavior & the Environment (BE.Center) has continued to build capacity through learn.rare.org: the BE.Center's virtual learning platform. The platform hosts self-paced content for learners to access at their own time and pace, in addition to supporting materials for attendees of its virtual and in-person trainings. This has included through translating it’s self-paced introductory course into Mandarin. • A new self-paced course focussed on ‘Assessing Behavior Change Solutions’ was launched on learn.rare.org. • Rare’s self-paced content is available for free on Learning For Nature, with the course launching on 1 July 2023. To date, 1993 individuals are enrolled • The BE.Center has continued to offer additional trainings through it’s 3-day BCD offer in both English and Spanish, running this twice per year. • Individual workshops have also been delivered for partners such as UNDP, Panthera, WCS, Maya Forest Trust, The Recycling Partnership and Faith Climate Action. • Rare uploaded 15 new-case studies on behavior.rare.org.On-going
Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redes• The BE.Center participated in a number of events targeting different stakeholders and discussing different aspects of behavior-centered solutions. Events ranged from presentations at the UNDP Nature for Life Hub Conference, joining CIMFAUNA, to contributing to the GEF Technical Guidance Document Advisory Panel. • Rare hosted its flagship conference, BE.Hive. This years conference looked at ‘Behavioral Insights to Environmental Impacts’, with over 300 registrants. • At the CBD COP Rare is hosting an event focussed on ‘People-Centered Solutions’. Full details will be provided in the 2025 activity report. • Rare’s behavior.rare.org platform acts as a hub for behavioral science tools, resources, trainings, and webinars. As of 24 October 2024, it has convened 4,258 members. An additional 1000+ members are accessing materials on a separate platform in China, hosted on WeChat.On-going
Educaci�n/Comunicaci�n/Concientizaci�n• Following on from the CBD COP, Rare is planning to host a follow-on webinar that will be practitioner oriented. The session will explore how people-centered solutions can help deliver the Global Biodiversity Framework. • Rare’s BE.Hour webinars are aimed at gathering practitioners to learn the intricacies of Behavior-Centered Design from Rare staff and external behavioral science champions. They have convened 1,437 attendees in the 2024 financial year.On-going
Actividades de campo• Since October 2023, the Center for Behavior & the Environment at Rare (BE.Center) has continued to partner with environmental NGOs on behavior-centered design projects.

Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
The BE.Center is working with many of the world’s largest conservation organizations to incorporate best practices of behavioral designs in several major projects. While the BE.Center continues to provide direct-to-practitioner training and other services, it has also adopted an influential role as a subgrantee directing behavioral design on large, multi-year programs, helping other organizations promote conservation through behaviour-centered solutions.

The BE.Center has focused its efforts on demonstrating the evidence for behavioral science in the environmental field, building demand for BCD, and increasing the ability of practitioners to implement behaviorally informed solutions.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
From a survey of alumni of our training programs, respondents identified that lack of funding for behaviorally informed approaches and challenges with monitoring and evaluation are the two biggest barriers to applying behavior-centered solutions to their work. Rare has developed and launched an in depth course on Assesing behavioral solutions to address the latter barrier.

Acción FuturaDescripción
Capacitaci�nThe BE.Center is developing plans to translate its self-paced learning content to new languages. In addition, the BE.Center will work to further highlight saliency through publishing new case studies.
Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redesRare will add a community function to behavior.rare.org.
Educaci�n/Comunicaci�n/Concientizaci�nThe BE.Center will host at least 5 quarterly BE.Hour webinars over the next year. (this hasn't been determined, I hope it's more, but want to give you something conservative). We have a target to increase the number of users on Behavior.rare.org to over 5,000.
