I’m Principal Associate of The Sustainability Literacy Project, and Founder-Director & Trustee of Forum for the Future. My 2010 book The Positive Deviant: Sustainability Leadership in a Perverse World is now a course book in many countries.

I owe many thanks to the Marmot Charitable Trust for their support and patience during the writing of this on-line book. Read more about me here.
