As the climate and biodiversity crisis escalates it’s increasingly clear that we need to urgently reframe our relationship with Nature*. This means changing how we make decisions about what we do and how we do it, and widening the conversation beyond each other, to the more-than-human*. The scale of the problem requires radical solutions; changing governance structures – across businesses, culture and communities – is a good place to start.
With almost 30 years experience as a creative think tank at the cutting edge of art and technology, it’s FutureEverything’s business to invent the future; now, we want Nature to reinvent us. So, we are putting Nature on our Board to transform the way we think, work, and grow so that, over time, everything we do reduces ecological degradation and strives towards restoration. FutureEverything is perfectly positioned to play a vital role in offering new narratives, experimental practices, and cultural pathways to enable the change that is urgently required.
FutureEverything is the first cultural institution in the UK to put Nature on the Board, joining a small handful of organisations globally who have made this move. We have been inspired to go on this ground-breaking journey by the growing Rights of Nature movement spearheaded by courageous Indigenous groups, lawyers, and activists especially in countries such as Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and New Zealand*. FutureEverything will contribute to this movement by tackling the wider cultural questions and imaginative possibilities of what it means to give Nature a say.
