Jonathon Porritt - His Journey and The Current State Of Our Climate

Episode 1 of The Goods Podcast is with one of the UK's most loved environmentalists and one of the most inspiring figures in the sustainability movement, Sir Jonathon Porritt. Jonathon has had an incredible career, he was director of Friends of the Earth, A key member in the Green Party and founder of Forum For The Future a pioneering sustainable development organisation. He's also a patron and mentor for an incredible amount of organisations and environmentalists globally. More recently he’s announced that he’s stepping back to focus more heavily on activism and further amplifying the message of the urgency to act on climate change, using technology and methods that already exist. He’s also an author of multiple genuinely brilliant books which we talk about today, including ‘the world we made’ which was released in 2013 and his newest book Hope in Hell, in 2020. In this episode we also looked at his journey in how he’s got to become one of the most well-known figures in sustainability in the UK. We also take a look at the current state of sustainability, covering some pretty pressing issues, as well as the best way to communicate change and what actually needs to be done. We then closed off the podcast with some pretty wise predictions for the future from Jonathon! Now we recorded this one back in February 2020, a month or so before the COVID lockdown. It's a brilliant episode with nuggets of epicness spread throughout the recording, so sit back, relax and hear more about the incredible life of Sir Jonathon Porritt.
