COP is Not an Excuse for Lack of Nature Ambition
The Kent Wildlife Trust CEO, Evan Bowen-Jones, calls for more governmental ambition as COP28 comes to an end this week.
Evan Bowen-Jones, Chief Executive of Kent Wildlife Trust has been working on delivering KWTs ambitious strategy for a Wilder Kent during his time in post. This strategy hinges on finding impactful local solutions to tackling the national and global nature and climate crises we all face at speed, and in the most defensible and pragmatic manner possible. Wilder Carbon was born through this; an initiative that now has a dozen English Wildlife Trusts as well as John Muir Trust in Scotland signed up as local deliverers, making it scaleable and investable.
Evan has a 25 year professional conservation background that encompasses implementation of species and landscape-level conservation projects; analysis of international policy; and working with NGOs, governments and Corporates to deliver real gains for wildlife all over the world.
