David Ritter is the chief executive officer of Greenpeace Australia Pacific. He is also an adjunct professor in the Sydney Democracy Network at Sydney University; an affiliate of the Sydney Environment Institute; an associate of the Sydney Policy Lab at Sydney University and an honorary fellow of the Law Faculty at UWA.
A few weeks ago we published a conversation I had with David back in 2020, at the height the pandemic lockdowns. The world had seemingly turned on its axis, but in David’s view was already spinning prior to covid19 sweeping the planet. As David last month began a new conversation with Greenpeace people and supporters, a monthly letter with love, I thought it was timely to chat again and check in with him post pandemic, but still very much in urgent crisis.
David is a widely published writer, including three books, The Coal Truth, Contesting Native Title and the The Native Title Market, his insights into the climate emergency have been published in The Guardian, The Griffiths Review, Independent Australian and The Quarterly Essay.
A frequent and highly regarded keynote speaker, David uses his platform to take audiences on a journey; through the wonder and awe of the natural world, the powers that threaten it and his profound belief in the human capacity for good.
David also wrote a wonderful essay for the book, Living with the Anthropocene, a powerful anthology of writing from some leading writers, thinkers and doers.
