Learning to Be Nature: Building a Co-Governed Knowledge Infrastructure for Ecocentric Learning

Event Description

Climate change and biodiversity loss are not simply technical problems to solve; they reflect a deeper failure to cultivate ecocentric learning. Across academia, youth development, environmental education, and Indigenous communities, a growing consensus is emerging that sustainability requires helping people learn to live as part of the living world. Yet the field lacks both a shared research infrastructure and a common measure that would allow these communities of knowledge to collaborate, learn, and scale together.

We address this gap by convening a diverse global task force to develop both.
