Tony Juniper is a renowned keynote speaker, campaigner, writer, and commentator, and one of the UK’s best known environmentalists.

Tony Juniper at Friends of the Earth
In 1990 Juniper joined Friends of the Earth. He has since maintained a strong public presence both for Friends of the Earth and personally, in the UK and abroad. In 2005 Country Life named him number 25 out of the top 100 most influential figures shaping the countryside.
In 1998 he became Policy and Campaigns Director of Friends of the Earth. From 2003 to 2008 he was the organization’s UK director. From 2001 to 2008 he was also elected Vice Chair of the 70-strong network of national organizations that comprise Friends of the Earth International. He contributed to many of Friends of the Earth’s most important achievements including legislation enacted to protect wildlife habitats, recycling laws, legal controls on carbon dioxide emissions, and policy changes in the transport and farming sectors.
During his tenure as director the national organization of Friends of the Earth was the highest profile environmental group in the UK. The organization’s annual income increased to nearly £11 million and professional staff increased to over 160. At the same time Friends of the Earth International increased its profile and income, recruited many new member countries and for the first time adopted a comprehensive strategy.

Co founder of Green & Blacks, Craig Sams is using charcoal to fight climate change
2nd September 2009The entrepreneur, speaker who with Jo Fairley founded Green & Black's organic chocolate, has created a biochar business in a bid to combat climate change. The process involves taking waste from agriculture and fishing and turning it into charcoal by roasting it in a low-oxygen atmosphere. The process turns waste into raw carbon, which can then be used to fertilise the soil. Dan Morrell, a former music promoter and entrepreneur who co founded the company, Carbon Gold with Craig said that the technology had huge promise but needed to be proved in a large scale trial. The company's first deal with the government of the Maldives should provide the opportunity to do this.
