Wrapping up a fascinating workshop in Oxford. We ask if we can we develop an aspirational narrative around people thriving with nature, one based on hope, and can our definitions and metrics of human development encompass this? Co-hosted by @HDRUNDP & the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery
We are lucky to have embarked on this challenge with wonderful and creative thinkers from diverse perspectives including @mleach_ids @sdiazecology @peterfrankopan @_HannahRitchie @laurap18 @mmuthukrishna @dobura @sdclaytonphd @kwatene @JosefinPasanen Emma Marris @mollykgrace @ymalhi @erleellis
Thanks to @thorogoodchris1 from Oxford's beautiful Botanic Gardens @OBGHA for a fascinating tour, encompassing everything from exquisite, rare flowers, to parasitic plants, carnivorous plants and Mandrake (magical plants which have incredible, restorative powers! Very apt for Oxford)
