Greenwashing happens when we view environmental justice and health as small mechanical fixes like local recycling and congestion charges rather than a cultural and systematic reimagination of relationship with the natural environment. This roundtable will look at how we assess our current relationship with our natural environment and develop an inclusive and indigenised view of healthy society.

A symbiotic relationship means the protection and regeneration of natural ecosystems through all human based activities.
