As climate change and biodiversity loss intensify, the persistence of certain myths can hinder the transformative change needed to build more sustainable societies. Preconceived ideas rooted in outdated practices or incomplete truths can slow down this change by hampering awareness and obstructing the reimagination of systems that tackling these crises demands. Therefore, bringing about change requires first and foremost challenging myths and shifting perspectives, opening the door to new narratives that inspire action for climate and biodiversity, and aspire to them becoming realities.
This booklet -built on the outcomes of the NetworkNature Annual Conference 2024 | Busting myths: people or with nature- brings together and busts 24 myths regarding nature management, governance, and valuation. By exploring the potential of nature and nature-based solutions to shift paradigms, the event aimed at capturing and building on the synergistic relationships between nature and people.
