PLEASE NOTE THE TIMES OF THIS EVENT ARE DIFFERENT TO THOSE ADVERTISED IN THE FESTIVAL BROCHURE.

The climate movement has gathered some pace but what about the other, inextricably linked crisis in biodiversity?

Siddarth Shrikanth, an expert in green investing, will set out how we can use groundbreaking natural capital frameworks - ways of valuing services that nature provides - to make our economies work with, not against, our living planet.

Join Siddarth, author of The Case for Nature, as he introduces you to a host of nature-positive pioneers and, taking a cue from many indigenous worldviews, argues powerfully that nature must be woven into our societies, not set apart.

Book sales

You can buy copies of many of our speakers’ books from Fox Lane Books, a local independent bookseller and Festival partner. In some cases, author signed bookplates are available too.
