I believe the path to genuine hope and meaningful action isn’t to focus on survival, but to aim higher – to create the conditions where people and the rest of nature can thrive right now and into the future, whatever the polycrisis brings.

Join me, Osbert Lancaster, as I meet people across Scotland who are working to build resilience, regenerate natural systems and heal society. I walk with them and learn what they’re doing, why it matters and what’s working.

Back in the studio, with co-host Morag Watson and guest listeners, we reflect on the interview and how that approach could be replicated, adapted and scaled in different contexts. We draw out key insights and practical lessons that we hope will inspire you and inform your work. ]]></itunes:summary><image><url>https://artwork.captivate.fm/81efb5f4-a299-4fed-be56-9a785f0a2d56/Thrivable-Scotland-podcast-cover-001.png</url><title>Thrivable Scotland</title><link><![CDATA[https://thrivablescotland.com]]></link></image><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/81efb5f4-a299-4fed-be56-9a785f0a2d56/Thrivable-Scotland-podcast-cover-001.png"/><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Osbert Lancaster</itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author>Osbert Lancaster</itunes:author><description>Thrivable Scotland is for people building a better world in the face of the climate, nature and political crises.
