Connecting, Cooperating & Changing for Nature

Scott Poynton's passion lies in helping create more positive change in the world, and he has spent his life working to bring change in highly complex, challenging situations. The founder of The Forest Trust (TFT), Scott used his time at TFT to help some of the world’s largest companies transform the way they source their products. Though still working on forests, Scott's focus has now pivoted to people, aiming to help individuals connect to themselves, to others and to nature. He joins us to share more about his life's work, and also how you can be part of two of his new projects, Scott Poynton's Change-Makers and My Carbon Zero.
