Why is environmentalism failing? | Morgan Phillips | TEDxAberystwyth

The three main approaches to environmentalism - the technological, the cognitive, and the behavioural - are failing. A fourth approach is, however, emerging. In this talk, Morgan Phillips looks at environmentalism through the lens of individualism. He explores why efforts to tackle the climate and nature crisis, might need to root themselves in efforts to counter the 'hyper' version of individualism that now prevails. This is what the emergent fourth approach to environmentalism is starting to do. It is part of a wider, and growing, Movement for Interdependence. Dr Morgan Phillips is Director of Education and Youth Engagement at the environmental charity Global Action Plan. He also volunteers at The Glacier Trust, sits on the education committee for Black Mountains College, and is a governor at New Quay Primary School in west Wales. Morgan has held trustee and adviser roles for various organisations including the National Association of Environmental Education UK, Green Schools Project, Solutions for the Planet, and WWF-UK. Previously, Morgan ran the Eco-Schools programme in England, led an intercultural understanding charity, Global Footsteps, lectured on the politics of climate change at Brunel University, volunteered with the Common Cause Foundation, and served as co-director for Nepal-focussed climate change adaptation charity, The Glacier Trust.
