Nature's Echo: The Science of Optimism Breakfast Event with THE NAT
Nature’s Echo: The Science of Optimism
Join leaders from across climate, science, business, and culture for a breakfast conversation on The Conduit rooftop exploring what nature can teach us about positive feedback loops—and how these lessons might help address the climate and nature crises.
Gail Gallie, Founder of THE NAT, will be in conversation with Professor Thomas Crowther, Founder of Crowther Lab and author of Nature’s Echo. Together, they will explore the emerging science of regeneration and the role these dynamics can play in shaping a more optimistic environmental future.
Drawing on his new publication, Thomas Crowther will offer exclusive insights into the scientific foundations of “environmental optimism”—revealing how the same forces that shape natural systems can drive planetary-scale regeneration if enabled. Gail Gallie will share how THE NAT is applying these ideas in practice, and how they will inform the organisation’s work in the year ahead.
This event is designed for those working at the forefront of climate, nature, finance, policy, and culture—anyone interested in translating cutting-edge science into real-world impact.
