Prof. dr. Jem Bendell is a Professor of Sustainability Leadership and Founder of the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability (IFLAS) at the University of Cumbria (UK) as well as Founder and former coordinator of the Deep Adaptation Forum.

Jem Bendell is a graduate of the University of Cambridge, and has twenty years of experience n sustainable business and finance, as a researcher, educator, facilitator, advisor, & entrepreneur, having lived & worked in six countries. He now focuses on leadership and communications for social change, as well as approaches that may help humanity face climate-induced disruption. He never describes himself as a ‘doomer’ and supports opening up to a wider agenda of harm reduction, beyond either giving up on social change, nor sticking to failed tactics, policies and ideologies. He articulated this approach to staying with the total trouble of our times, while being creatively engaged in positive change,  in a joint article with a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion.
