Tessa is a climate change lawyer and Executive Director and founder of Uplift, a research and campaigning organisation focused on a just energy transition in the UK. She is an expert in oil and gas policy, and was previously co-founder and Co-Director of the Climate Litigation Network, a global web of lawyers, campaigners, and activists helping citizens take their governments to court in pursuit of climate action.
“Governments have been breaking their promises to take the climate crisis seriously for too long, while ordinary people and communities are left to live with its impacts. That’s why so many people are now asking their government hard questions in court. Litigation is helping to empower those most affected and is giving them a real platform to be heard.”
