Today The Earth is My Client - Moral Imaginations with ClientEarth

Today I will be working with the fantastic lawyers at ClientEarth to equip them with the skill of Moral Imagination to bring Nature's voice into the room

Excited to be have the Earth as my Client this afternoon - I will be speaking to a group of lawyers at ClientEarth about Moral Imagination and Imagination Activism to help make the kind of changes this century needs. Here is the blurb that went out to their lawyers ahead of the talk:

"Phoebe Tickell is a renegade scientist, systems thinker and social entrepreneur. She is the founder of the organisation Moral Imaginations and creator of an approach called Imagination Activism: a new kind of activism powered by imagination to create new possibilities and new forms of action. She believes that the vast majority of our challenges are not resource problems, but imagination problems, and that imagination is a muscle that can be flexed to change the way we see – and act. Moral Imaginations trains public, private and community organisations to solve place-based problems, unleash energy and systemic change. Their flagship project Camden Imagines trained 32 Camden Council officers to become ‘ambassadors of imagination’ and spread imagination across the Borough.

Here is how she invites you in: “The 21st century demands a rehaul in how we see the world, decide what is important and design everything from our organisations to our supply chains to our cities and infrastructures. We will need to grow greater courage and what Phoebe calls 'Moral Imagination' to do the unthinkable, and seemingly impossible, and chart paths into unfamiliar (but not 'new') territories.

Imagination Activism is a radical and rigorous approach to practice and strengthen shifts in perception, move from dreams to action, to create positive change and chart bold, ambitious futures. It's a new kind of activism powered by imagination to see the world differently and the skills to turn bold vision into action. Rather than fighting the old, it orientates to the new. At the heart of Imagination Activism is Moral Imagination - the ability to look at things as if they could - and should - be otherwise. By changing the way we see the world, we can create new possibilities and new actions that serve all people, the planet, and the coming future generations.”

Looking forward to stoking #MoralImagination and #LegalImagination together!
