Hosts Dave King and Alicia Reade are joined by three guests whose work spans
international advocacy, global environmental campaigning and practical action at club level.
The first guest is Judith Diment MBE, a member of the Rotary Club of London who has worked for more than three decades in senior communications roles, including as Head of Public Relations at the Natural History Museum.
Within Rotary, she serves as Rotary Representative to the Commonwealth and Dean of Rotary’s Representatives to the United Nations. In that role, she has led Rotary delegations to COP26 in Glasgow, COP27 and COP28, and helped establish Rotary’s first pavilion at a UN climate conference.
The second guest is Gert-Jan van Dommelen, a Rotarian from the Netherlands and co-founder of EndPlasticSoup. Founded in 2018, EndPlasticSoup is a Rotary-led initiative that now operates as the plastics task force within ESRAG, the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group.
The final guest is Phil Fletcher of Henley Rotary Club, who provides a practical example of environmental action at club level.
