摘要:Achieving global sustainability goals requires most people and societies to fundamentallyrevisit their relationship with nature. New approaches are called for to guide change processes towards sustainable futures that embrace the plurality of people’s desired relationshipswith nature. This paper presents a novel approach to exploring desirable futures for natureand people that was developed through an application in Nationaal Park Hollandse Duinen inthe Netherlands. This new national park is developed bottom-up by a diverse group of actorsreshaping their interactions with each other and with nature. Our approach, co-designed withkey stakeholders of the national park, engages with a new pluralistic framework for humannature relationships presented by the IPBES task force on scenarios and models to catalyzethe development of nature-centered scenarios. We integrated this Nature Futures Frameworkwith the Three Horizons Framework in a participatory workshop process designed to bringpeople’s diverse relationships with nature to the fore, and jointly envision desirable futuresand the pathways to get there. We present a methodology to analyze and compare thevisions and assess their potential contribution to the SDGs. We summarize the results of theapplication in Nationaal Park Hollandse Duinen and reflect on lessons learned. The approachsuccessfully engaged participants in joint exploration of desirable futures for the nationalpark based on their plural perspectives on human-nature relationships. We see much potential for its applications to support change processes in various social-ecological contextstoward more sustainable futures for nature and people.
