Sophie Kisnorbo Project Coordinator

Stephen once tagged along on a Cool Earth press trip to the Amazon, moonlighting as a journalist, and has been with us ever since. He calls New York City home (though one wonders why), where he works tirelessly developing Cool Earth’s education initiative. He founded the Cool Earth Teacher Fellowship, a program - and heart’s work - that supports the development of teachers through expeditionary learning experiences in the Amazon Rainforest.

Johan is a rare thing. As well as one of Europe’s most successful businessmen, he was committed to actively protecting the environment well before it became fashionable. With Frank Field he came up with the idea of saving trees from the ground-up, he also thought of the name “Cool Earth.” JOHAN ELIASCH Co-founder and Trustee

Mark pretty much invented independent travel when he launched the Rough Guides in 1982. As well as helping us all “make the most of your time on earth”, he has published the most interesting books on saving the planet and the best ones on world music. MARK ELLINGHAM Trustee

Johan’s research as joint director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and role as chief scientist with Conservation International continues to be a global call to arms. Having led an international group's work to identify planetary boundaries, he has committed his career to lead the way on all things climate science, sustainability, and ensuring environmental thresholds are not crossed. Johan Rockström Trustee

With fifty years of campaign experience, Frank Field has probably done more to improve the lives of children in poverty and low paid workers than any of his former parliamentary colleagues. In 2007 he turned his attention to climate change and launched Cool Earth. Frank Field Co-founder and Trustee

Emily Cooke Creative Artworker

After being frustrated by the limited options available for U.S. donors (himself included) interested in doing something to combat deforestation, Jed led the effort to organise and form the US entity of Cool Earth and has been a trustee ever since. Jed is a developer of long-term public-private partnerships for infrastructure and focuses on energy efficiency, sustainability and resiliency. Based in New York City, he spends an inordinate amount of time turning off people's office lights and computer monitors. Jed also serves on several boards and advisory committees of non-profits, including the Morgan Library & Museum. Jed Freedlander Trustee, Cool Earth Action USA
