    351 David Ritter: Climate Warrior on Love

    David Ritter is the chief executive officer of Greenpeace Australia Pacific. He is also an adjunct professor in the Sydney Democracy Network at Sydney University; an affiliate of the Sydney Environment Institute; an associate of the Sydney Policy Lab at Sydney University and an honorary fellow of the Law Faculty at UWA.  Greenpeace has launched and executed a number of highly successful and deeply collaborative campaigns during David's time as CEO, including most recently: - Stopping big oil companies from drilling in the Great Australian Bight, wholly preventing the opening of a new oil frontier. - Persuading Australia's worst climate polluter, AGL Energy, to agree to early coal closures - which will result in roughly an 8-10% drop in annual domestic emissions, and; - shifting 21 major Australian corporations to adopt 100% renewable energy electricity commitments by 2025 - shifting around 5% of the National Electricity Market from fossil fuels to renewable energy. A widely published writer, including three books, The Coal Truth, Contesting Native Title and the The Native Title Market, his insights into the climate emergency have been published in The Guardian, The Griffiths Review, Independent Australian and The Quarterly Essay. A frequent and highly regarded keynote speaker, David uses his platform to take audiences on a journey; through the wonder and awe of the natural world, the powers that threaten it and his profound belief in the human capacity for good.  This conversation took place back in 2020, in the midst of Covid lockdowns. We've been reflecting on it and its potency still to this day and hope you enjoy it.  David's essay referred to in the episode is from the book, Living with the Anthropocene, a powerful anthology of writing from some leading writers, thinkers and doers.     Growing Your Business and Impact Talk to us today about how we can grow your capacity to level up your business and impact with our fully trained and managed outsourced marketing solutions - delivered by our digital heroes armed with good strategy, the latest tech and big smiles.  Learn more at humansofpurpose.com Promotional Partnerships Like what we are serving up on Humans of Purpose?
