Event details

Human wellbeing and prosperity are entirely dependent on the health of nature. Mumta Ito is rewriting the rules with the UK Nature’s Rights Bill - a bold legal framework that puts nature’s health first, ensuring our laws and economy work within the planet's limits, not against them.

Hear about Mumta’s journey from a high-flying lawyer to a pioneering advocate for nature and explore how we move beyond sustainability to a truly regenerative world.

This event is presented by the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity.
