A future with nature Home

Each new report published usually becomes a warning when the conventional environmental crisis are increasingly deepened. But this time, the new study, prepared in the leadership of Oxford University and published in Nature magazine, offers a different perspective: a future vision that takes the Umudu center. The research offers not only people, but also a new measurement proposal that will allow nature to take its share from development.

The relationship established by the body should also be measured]
The research is based on the article titled “An Aspirational Approach to Planet Futures” (a ambitious approach for futures) that arises from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Oxford University.. In this article, in addition to the Human Development Index (HDI) used to evaluate human development, a new indicator that measures the relationship established with nature suggests: Nature Relationship Index (Nature Relationship Index).

The status of the baby is also part of the progress
This new index aims to monitor not only economic or social achievements of countries but also how they protect ecosystems, how they use natural resources and provide a healthy natural environment to their citizens. The researchers highlight that nature is not only something to be protected but also one of the basic elements of human development.

A concrete tool for Political decisions
The purpose of the index is not only creating a awareness; to ensure that governments do not ignore nature while doing their development plans. This measure will allow countries to monitor their interactions with nature. Just like training and life time, access to a healthy environment will be addressed as a welfare indicator.

Why is it so important now?]
Problems such as climate crisis, biological diversity loss, soil degradation have reached globally critical thresholds. The authors of the research indicate that in this fragile period, a system where people can develop together with nature should be built. Thus, proactive and sustainable solutions can be produced against environmental collapse.

A growing civilization
Nature Relationship Index offers not only a new measuring system but also a vision that can be router in social and political decisions. The understanding that human development should be measured not only with economic growth or health care, but also with nature-based relationships is gaining strength. This proposal in the leadership of Oxford University calls to address the well-being of the planet with human well-being.
