The Oxford Ministry for the Future presents: 'A conversation with Elif Shafak and Jonny Thomson on nature and humans: Connectedness, conflicts and rights'

The responsible use of the planet’s resources is an existential challenge for humanity. This event will explore the relationships between nature and humans – our connectedness, conflicts and rights – and the role of storytelling in not only bearing witness, but also in imagining better ways of being.

This event hosted by Hertford College, Saïd Business School and the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, is organised in partnership with Global Canopy, a data-driven non-profit that delivers transparency and accountability around the market forces driving deforestation and nature loss.

This event is held in association with the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit, as part of the Oxford Local Programme of events themed around climate change, human rights, and climate justice.
