As a grandfather, my concern about the future of the world, or more correctly humanity, is for my children and grandchildren - having read Tim Jackson’s book on economics for a finite planet many years ago I have been concerned that all our major political parties in this country have endless growth as the centre of their policies - my other big “thing” is wealth tax which is pivotal to reducing the huge inequality in living standards which, if introduced, would reduce the impact of reducing consumption and living with reducing GDP on the vast majority of the public and make this a more saleable concept nationally as opposed to locally.

Hi  I’m excited to be here and to read about REGEN Sydney which I learnt about as I am reading Paddy Le Flufy's excellent book https://ko-fi.com/s/260585ff4f Which I learnt about through Deep Transformation Network webinar Which I learnt about through a Climate Change and Plastics Facebook page.  I live in a small country town in Far Nor th Queensland, Mossman on Yalanji Country.  I would say its a sugar cane town but our mill has just gone bust This has followed our harrowing Cyclone Jasper and post flood events.  I am keen to see change - good ways - in this space up here.  Its inevitable but we are I think isolated from the opportunities which DEAL and such groups can bring.  The fear is we may become a ghost town.  I love that REGEN Sydney was prompted by the question from Darkinjung Elder, Uncle Phil Bligh - ‘how do we live in this land with joy?’ (the question came via our community member David Beaumont). This wisdom brought me to tears.  I moved here from Canberra to work with the Kuku Yalanji and now work for canefarmers.  So links with land are strong and tradition in rural communities are known to me also.  I am not a big player here but am delving into transformative models in the hope of translating these to those who are invested in land and country as they seek to define the next steps for our town that has done sugar for 130 years.  Cheers Jo

I am an Associate Solicitor practising in Trusts, Estates and Tax at Freeths LLP in Oxford. I have long had a strong interest in issues surrounding ESG and the transition to a sustainable future.  I feel incredibly passionate about issues surrounding ESG and the intersection between law and sustainability and would like to contribute as much as I can in this area as a practising solicitor. I studied environmental law as part of my law degree and I participated heavily in the ESG department at my previous firm and regularly listen to environmental podcasts, read environmental books and watch environmental documentaries (Greta Thunberg, Kate Raworth, Lily Cole, David Attenborough etc.). I managed to secure an interview with Lily Cole on her book, ‘Who Cares Wins: Reasons for Optimism in Our Changing World’ back in 2021 and was thrilled to be able to interview her when we were in the midst of the pandemic.  I used to take the minutes for the ESG department monthly meetings and contributed to various projects that they worked on for COP26. I am also looking into studying an online course/ master’s degree on ESG/ law and sustainability at Oxford University in future. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Kate Raworth's book, 'Doughnut Economics' and look forward to being part of the DEAL Community.
