A dedicated and passionate environmental campaigner, Nannette works at the Runnymede Trust, Britain’s leading race equality think tank, developing their climate work and was one of the co- authors of a major report with Greenpeace UK entitled ‘Confronting Injustice: Race and the Climate Emergency’ which demonstrated the role UK governments, corporations and colonialism had played in creating and maintaining the environmental emergency. Nannette previously served a three year term as a Green city councillor in Norwich as its youngest member and only member of colour.
“Good climate activism is activism which not just acknowledges the unique experiences POC have with the environment and the racist history of the environmental movement but acts upon it.”
