More-than-human
What if we lived in a world where all living things contributed their intelligence to the decisions made about our futures?
Humans are one of millions of species sharing this planet — so why should we alone decide how it is governed? What if our decisions could work not just for us, but for the whole of the living world?
Across Europe, a growing network of people and places is asking exactly that — and beginning to practise the answer. They are exploring how governance and policy might draw on more-than-human and planetary intelligences: ways of deciding that listen beyond the human.
More-than-human governance experiments in Europe set out to find them. Who is doing the best practice — and the edge practice — in this field? What can we, and others, learn from them? Where is the work already taking root in policy and governance? And how might it be supported to grow — what would the case for that be?
Arising Quo partnered with DemNext to explore these questions.
