Who are the residents of your municipality? The Municipality as Part of Nature project aims to dismantle anthropocentrism in municipalities and bring the intertwined wellbeing of humans and the rest of nature to the centre. By questioning the paradigm that separates humans from nature, the project taps into one of the most powerful leverage points for sustainability transformation. The aim is to create visions of non-anthropocentric municipalities and bring them to practise by dismantling anthropocentric thinking and practices, and creating alternatives. The project is carried out in collaboration with Finnish municipalities as a set of four workshops. A publicly available checklist will be created together with the participating municipalities to support the work of municipal actors during and after the project. The contents of the project will be communicated to a wider audience through an open webinar, a podcast and networks of sustainable municipalities.
