Professional biography

I was born on planet Earth and have lived here all my life. It's still a wonderful place to live but unfortunately it is no longer as safe around here as it used to be. This realisation has led me to devote my university career to research and teaching on global environmental degradation and how it should be addressed. I specialise in deforestation, climate change and global environmental governance. 

I landed at the Open University in 1995 after working for British Rail, as a merchant seaman and in Australian fashion retail. During a two-year career break in the 1980s I travelled extensively, developing concerns about global environmental degradation along the way. This eventually led to a PhD in international forest politics at City University London (supervisor: Professor Peter Willetts).

I have served as an advisor to the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Forest Institute and with five UK government delegations to the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF). I have been a UK representative on two EU-funded research programmes on forest policy (COST Action E19 and COST Action FP1207) and have served as an author with four Global Forest Expert Panels convened by the International Union of Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO). In 2011 I was a member of the Development Partnerships in Higher Education (DelPHE) team on academic capacity building in Afghanistan. I regularly speak before different audiences on the challenge of global heating and policies for tackling it. I support the agenda of Extinction Rebellion and have addressed two of their rallies in central London.

I have guest edited five special issues of peer-reviewed journals, most recently of Forest Policy and Economics (with Shonil Bhagwat). In 2015 I was appointed lead editor of Common Ground’s On Sustainability collection of academic journals, and academic lead for the annual International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. You can find out about the next conference in Miami, Florida in January 2025 from the conference website.

Research interests

My current research interests centre on four interrelated areas at the interface of geography, environmental politics and international politics. The first is global environmental governance, with a particular interest in the United Nations Forum on Forests and other forest-related international organisations, including the Framework Convention on Climate Change. Research in this area also focuses on private sector governance schemes in shaping norms and rules, the interactions between public and private spheres in environmental governance, and the democratic regulation of business corporations. The second is environmental philosophy and environmental law, in particular the role that different rights claims play in shaping environmental politics and domestic and international law, with an interest in the moral claim that nature has rights that precede those of humans. The third is the relationship between science, technology and politics with particular interests in forest science, and geoengineering. The fourth is national forest policy in the United Kingdom within the context of pan-European forest policy. A common theme to all areas of research is the relationship between theory and practice and how research can help to generate policies and governance that promote long-term environmental sustainability.

I welcome applications from prospective PhD students interested in all areas of environmental geography, environmental policy and environmental politics.

I'm a member of the OpenSpace Research Centre.

Teaching interests

From 2007 to 2013 I was the qualification director for the BA(Hons) Environmental Studies. I have prepared teaching material for several Open University modules. With Nick Bingham I co-chaired the production of the University’s second level interdisciplinary module Environment: Sharing a dynamic planet (DST206). I recently co-chaired with Petr Jehlicka the production of the third level social sciences module Environmental policy in an international context (DD319).
