  • サマリー

  • In this episode, we welcome Lord Deben. Entering Parliament as an MP at just 30, he rose through the ranks to become a Minister under Mrs Thatcher and then Secretary of State for the Environment in John Major’s Government. In 1995 he introduced the landmark Environment Act and ended up being described by Friends of the Earth as "the best Environment Secretary we've ever had". Created a life peer in 2010, taking his title from his local river, he became Chairman of the UK’s Climate Change Committee in 2012. A position he held for over a decade. In that time, he supported the Government to pass a net zero emissions law, making the UK the first major economy to do so. Citing Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, her seminal 1962 book on the dangers of pollution, as a major influence on his leadership, he is a Catholic who sees his faith as tightly woven with his social calling.
