The AskNature Podcast
hosted by the biomimicry institute
Nature has the answers we’re looking for. All we have to do is ask. Join the conversation to uncover nature-inspired strategies for resilience, innovation, and systemic change.
At a time of unprecedented ecological and social challenges, people across regions, industries, and movements are asking: what happens when we look to nature to guide our way forward? The AskNature Podcast explores that question and the revolutionary answers it yields—bringing together diverse voices to uncover nature-inspired strategies for resilience, innovation, and systemic change.
Season 1 focuses on the exponential impact we can have by reconnecting with the rest of nature, with guests Janine Benyus, Christiana Figueres, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Baratunde Thurston, Tristan Gooley, Gamelihle Sibanda, and Julia Watson.
Episode 1: Christiana Figueres + Janine Benyus
What is the design intent of our lives?Janine Benyus and Christiana Figueres open the series in conversation about biomimicry, belonging, and what it actually means to live in relationship with the rest of the natural world.
Systems change, it turns out, starts personally. This episode will shift how you think about the relationship between nature, design, and the choices you make today.
As we AskNature for guidance through today’s climate and social crises, Janine and Christiana remind us that we also need to have the humility to listen.
