Welcome

to my website! I’ve been blogging for a long time, but that’s only a small part of all the different things I'm involved in these days.

It’s a funny old mix. Part advising, part campaigning, part writing and broadcasting, part lecturing and giving talks. And all done with a funny old mix of companies, NGOs, Universities and public sector bodies. It’s mostly through Forum for the Future, but through all sorts of other organizations too - as you’ll see.

My involvement with government used to be much greater than it is today. Up until July 2009, I was Chair of the UK Sustainable Development Commission, a post to which I was appointed by Tony Blair back in 2000. The Commission itself is no more – the Coalition Government idiotically decided to get rid of it which demonstrated, early on, just how utterly vacuous its commitment to being ‘the greenest government ever’ looks like in practice.

Happily, giving up any government role has enabled me to get stuck in on a number of campaigns which you’ll see under the relevant section.

 I'm particularly involved at the moment in nuclear and forestry issues - please have a look at the Campaigns section.
