My TEDx talk has been published

I’m thrilled to share that my TEDx talk on “How a just & regenerative mindset can help us navigate the polycrisis” has been published on the TEDx Talks YouTube channel.

Albert Einstein said: “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Adopting a new mindset can set free the energy we need to resolve the ‘polycrisis’ of climate change, nature loss, pollution, injustice and war. This mindset has six dimensions: personal, organisational, social, political, economic and natural. The talk was part of the ‘Bridging Within’ theme at TEDxPatras.

During the talk I share some of the great work on shifting mindsets by Forum for the Future. Please like and share widely!

I’m a global ocean, climate and sustainability expert with 20+ years of experience, including progressively more strategic and leadership responsibilities. My most recent roles include Global Director of Impact at the international sustainability non-profit Forum for the Future, Board Member at the New Economics Foundation (a think tank focusing on social, economic and environmental justice), Head of the World Ocean Initiative and Practice Lead (EMEA) for Sustainability, Climate Change and Natural Resources at Economist Impact (part of The Economist Group). My previous roles at The Economist Group include managing editor, global health lead and Europe editor at The Economist Intelligence Unit. I love to work with organisations that build a just, resilient and regenerative future for people and planet.

Over the years I have directed many sustainability-related research and thought-leadership projects with partners in business, government, academia and civil society, in areas such as food sustainability, a just energy transition and the role of business in society. I was also the editorial lead of the award-winning Sustainability Project.

As part of my wider engagement on sustainability, I am a trustee of the New Economics Foundation (a think tank focusing on social, economic and environmental justice). I sit on the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s Inclusive Economies Advisory Group and the Sustainable Brands Turkey Global Advisory Board. I have also been a member of the Advisory Committee for the UN Environment Programme’s Global Environment Outlook for Business, a senior rapporteur at World Water Week, a faculty member in the Food & Sustainability Certificate Program provided by the European Institute of Innovation for Sustainability and a judge at the Reuters Events Responsible Business Awards.
