Describe the results/achievements of the activities
Rare's Center for Behavior & the Environment 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.

Association Les Eco Maires has contributed to implementing the Resolution through meetings with local communities and joint participation in public conferences in France.

The PANORAMA initiative, which is co-led by the IUCN Secretariat and IUCN Member GIZ, contributes to the Resolution by promoting specific solution case studies that illustrate good practice and impacts of integrating BCD into conservation initiatives.

CEC is exploring establishment of a Task Force on behavior change.
