Conveners:

  • Tom Eddington, Founder, Endangered Global, and George Cappannelli, Founder, Age Nation

  • Jim Garrison, President, Ubiquity University

Presenters:

  • Jojo Mehta co-founded Stop Ecocide in 2017, alongside barrister and legal pioneer the late Polly Higgins, to support the establishment of ecocide as a crime at the International Criminal Court. She has seen the remarkable growth of this movement (teams in 15 countries, websites in nine languages) while coordinating between legal developments, diplomatic traction and public narrative. She is Chair of the charitable Stop Ecocide Foundation and convenor of the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide chaired by Philippe Sands QC and Dior Fall Sow. Jojo is a graduate of Oxford and London Universities and has a background in communications, entrepreneurship and on-the-ground environmental campaigns.

  • Charles Eisenstein is an American speaker and author. His work covers a wide range of topics including the history of human civilization, economics, spirituality, and the ecology movement. Key themes include anti-consumerism, interdependence, and how myth and narrative influence culture. He believes that our global culture is immersed in a destructive “story of separation” and his work is to present an alternative “story of interbeing”.
