The serious playfulness with ideas about imagination as a critical ingredient of how we create the sustainable future we all want to see is as important as any discussion around the small print of nature-based solutions, carbon financing or new legal protocols.

Nature-based solutions is a really broad term, encompassing ideas like payments for ecosystem services, using nature in climate mitigation and adaptation, along with broader ideas like learning from nature in design and industry.

The Open University is hosting a unique event at COP26 as one of several initiatives to mark its commitment to responding to the climate crisis.
