KUMI NAIDOO: AFFLUENZA THE GREATEST THREAT TO HUMANITY

A seasoned activist in South Africa during its struggle against apartheid, Kumi Naidoo has never lost his broad vision, deep commitment to people and planet, and his capacity to catalyse communities and movement for justice across issues, sectors and borders.

He is a founding chair of the Campaign for a Just Energy Future and is a patron of Future SA, which both advocate for accountability and an end to corruption in South Africa. He has served as Executive Director of Greenpeace International, Secretary General of CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation, Board Chair of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP), President of the Global Call for Climate Action (GCCA), and Board member of Shared Interest and the Thembani International Guarantee Fund. He also served as Board member for 350.org, the Global Greengrants Fund, and as an Ambassador to the Southern African Faith Communities Environmental Institute.
