In Our Nature
If we’re going to take on climate change, we need strong allies. In Our Nature is a podcast that explores how ecosystems can be an incredible force in protecting us from climate disaster, if we find ways to help them thrive. It also explores how closely we are connected to the natural world, which is an inseparable part of the human spirit. This six-part series explores climate and ecology through a wide range of topics, including governance, cuisine, and environmental economics. In Our Nature is produced by the ECOBARI collaborative, which aims to upscale Ecosystem-based Adaptation for Resilient Incomes. It is a shared initiative of nine founding partners and is convened by the Watershed Organisation Trust.
