Start: Friday, April 26, 2024•10:00 AM
End: Friday, April 26, 2024• 5:00 PM
We are thrilled that Jonathon Porritt is visiting us for a week in April to support Adrian's campaign. Sign up for one or more days to campaign with one of the Green Party's true legends.
Jonathon Porritt is one of Britain's most eminent writers and environmental campaigners, with a long track record in the Green movement. He was Co-Chair of the Green Party between 1980 and 1983, but has also been Director of Friends of the Earth (1984-90) and Chair of the UK Sustainable Development Commission between 2000 and 2009, providing high-level advice to Government Ministers. In 1996, he co-founded Forum for the Future, a leading international sustainable development charity, working with business and civil society to accelerate the shift toward a sustainable future. He is President of The Conservation Volunteers and is involved in the work of many other NGOs and groups.
His latest book, Hope in Hell (Simon & Schuster, 2020, revised 2021) is a powerful ‘call to action’ on the Climate Emergency.
