Modelling Nature Connectedness Within Environmental Systems: Human-Nature Relationships from 1800 to 2020and Beyond

This publication argues for urgent action to increase nature connection in society, both to address the environmental crisis and for people’s and nature’s wellbeing. The most effective approaches to doing this, according to the study, undertaken by Professor Miles Richardson of the University of Derby, are introducing children to nature at an early age and greening urban environments. Children are naturally fascinated by nature, but maintaining this through childhood with parents passing on nature connection to their children is key. Increasing the time we all spend in nature every day is also important.
