The People's Plan for Nature: how re-imagining our democracy could save nature

Hello! The nature crisis affects everyone, and so the British people should have a say in how we solve it. But is our current system ready for it? Step forward: the People’s Plan for Nature, a huge national conversation about the future of nature. Thousands of people got involved, which led to the UK's first citizens’ assembly on nature set up by the RSPB, WWF-UK and the National Trust. We talk to Helen Meech and Jon Alexander about how they made it happen, and to Graham Roberts about what it was like to take part. Plus: Inspired by his time at the RSC, is Ed ready for an immersive theatre experience?GuestsHelen Meech, Head of Movement Building, RSPB (@HelenMeech / @NaturesVoice)Jon Alexander, Co-Founder, New Citizenship Project (@jonjalex / @NewCitProj)Graham Roberts, Participant, People’s Assembly for NatureMore infoRead the final report of the People’s Plan for Nature including the 26 calls for actionWatch Wild Isles - David Attenborough's latest documentary for the BBCLearn more about the RAPID Democracy frameworkListen to RTBC's previous episode on Sortition and the Climate Citizens' AssemblyLearn more about the organisations leading the People's Plan For Nature: RSPB; WWF-UK and National TrustJon spoke about Canada's Mass Democratic Action FundsRead Jon's book Citizens: Why the key to fixing everything is all of usJon mentioned g0v (gov-zero), read about it here Hosted on Acast.
