James Thornton: Suing for Change
In this episode, I caught up with an old friend James Thornton – an Environmental lawyer, TED speaker, and the CEO and Founder of ClientEarth, a global non-profit environmental law organisation.
James’s legal strategies have led to groundbreaking legal victories in the fight against climate change, air pollution, and biodiversity loss. His work at ClientEarth focuses on holding governments and corporations accountable for environmental harm.
He’s also an ordained Zen Buddhist priest and a prolific writer, and his new book, Nature My Teacher, is a collection of essays about our connection with the natural world.
