Be a more effective sustainability leader, by feeling more part of nature

We believe you really can be a more effective sustainability leader and change maker by strengthening your sense of connection with nature. That's because people who feel part of nature, tend to:

• Have good mental health and be happy
• Have a strong sense of meaning and purpose
• Be kind and helpful to others
• Behave in ways that are good for the environment

Which all help create a healthy and sustainable society.

In this podcast Osbert Lancaster, director of Realise Earth, explains why feeling more connected with nature helps you be a more effective sustainability leader – not just because you feel better, but also because then strengthening other people's nature connectedness can have profound effects for them, their organisations and communities, and for wider society.

This episode is based on our roundtable on nature connection and sustainability leadership, and includes powerful insights and practical experience from our panelists:

Dr Carly Butler, Nature Connectedness Research Group at the University of Derby; Ruchir Shah , Scottish Wildlife Trust; Jemma Sharman , Green Minds Programme Manager, Plymouth City Council; and Gwyn Jones , Association of Sustainability Practitioners.
