The experience will be developed in partnership with NERC and the NHM and incorporate up-to-date research and possibly items from the Museum's collection. Visitors will feel excited and empowered by the experience to be a part of a future where the environment and people are in balance. The experience will encapsulate the following ideas: positive, inspiring, exciting, constructive, lively, empowering, balancing people and planet. It will avoid negativity around the Anthropocene and focus on an attainable positive vision of the future where planet and people succeed together.
