In 1996, he established Forum for the Future, together with fellow Programme Directors, Sara Parkin and Paul Ekins, considering that there was a clear role for an organisation offering a solutions-oriented approach to today's environmental problems, developing strategic partnerships across different sectors, encouraging and multiplying examples of best environmental practice where possible. Partly as a result of the kind of approach he has been pursuing through
the Forum, Jonathon was appointed by the Prime Minister as Chairman of
the new Sustainable Development Commission in July 2000. This will be
the Government's principal source of independent advice across the whole
sustainable development agenda. Jonathon is a Trustee of WWF UK, Vice-President of the Socialist Environment Resources Association (SERA), Chairman of the Agricultural Reform Group and the Gloucestershire Environmental Trust. In April 1999, he became chairman of the South West Round Table for Sustainable Development, and was appointed to the Board of the South West Regional Development Agency in December 1999. He was formerly Director of Friends of the Earth (1984-90); co-chair of the Green Party (1980-83) of which he is still a member; chairman of UNED-UK (1993-96). He is the author of Seeing Green (1984), Coming of the Greens (1988), Where on Earth are We Going (1990), Save the Earth (1991), a regular columnist for The Daily Telegraph, BBC Wildlife Magazine, NFU Countryside, and has written and presented a number of major television documentaries. His latest book, Playing Safe: Science and the Environment, was published by Thames & Hudson in May 2000. Jonathon received a CBE in January 2000 for services to environmental
protection.
