RSA
About this episode

Introduced by the RSA’s President, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, an expert panel explores the theme of nature stewardship amidst a climate and biodiversity crisis.

Imagine if, in 10 years’ time, everyone was a nature steward. What would that world look like?

And how can young people, communities, movements, and governments contribute to making that vision a reality?

With Kabir Kaul FRSA, 19-year-old conservationist, wildlife writer and passionate advocate for London’s biodiversity; Caitlin Turner, marine biologist and policy officer, Sustainable Inshore Fisheries Trust; Rebecca Wrigley, chief executive, Rewilding Britain; and Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta FRSA, economist and author of The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review.

Introduction: Tim Eyles OBE, RSA Chair

Welcome remarks: HRH The Princess Royal, RSA President

Chair: Dr Joanna Choukeir, Director of Design & Innovation, RSA
