Let's Eat: Political Ecology

Simon Holmes à Court

Jesus reputedly claimed that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". The founder of Climate 200, Simon Holmes à Court, might just prove him wrong. The millionaire behind the ‘Teals’ campaigns in the 2022 election is a supporter of progressive causes, including integrity in government and gender equality, but above all he champions action on climate change. This conversation is an opportunity to hear Holmes à Court discuss how he perceives his place in the political ecology.
