Ecosystems Knowledge Network

Wellbeing and prosperity for everyone through a healthy natural environment Our approach is to enable the exchange of know-how between professionals. We do this through the power of networking; speeding up the sharing of expertise and experience. We equip people to achieve more in their work, regardless of whether the environment is their primary focus. Our vision for the future is positive. It is for a time when everyone seeks to maximise all the good things that a healthy environment does for people, rather than simply avoiding more harm.

ABOUT US:

We think the natural environment has huge untapped potential to help resolve issues of concern people and businesses in this part of the 21st Century. Issues such as:

How to reduce health inequalities
How to revive local economies
How to create places where people want to be
How to ensure more resilience in the face of a changing climate

Our vision will have been fulfilled when the value of the environment is reflected in local and national decisions currently perceived to have little to do with it. Our Innovation Showcases demonstrate case studies across the UK where innovators and influencers are delivering projects that turn this vision into outcomes that people can see and learn from.
