How to Live on Earth — Education Channel

Welcome to the How to Live on Earth Education Channel.

How to Live on Earth is a hopeful feature documentary showing how we can build a safe and thriving future by working with nature, not against it. Available globally on YouTube from 20th September 2026, the film is presented by Benedict Cumberbatch and produced by Open Planet Studios in association with the Villars Institute and Silvania. 

This channel provides a deeper dive on the topics and solutions explored in the film — including expert conversations, contributor interviews, and playlists built around three “how to” pathways: how to value nature, how to feed the future, and how to feel human.

Aligned with the Villars Institute’s mission to restore planetary health and its commitment to education and systems leadership, the film and this channel serve as a catalyst for learning — supporting conversations from classrooms to boardrooms about a future where nature thrives, and so do we.
