David Suzuki has been a strong advocate on climate change action, and back in 1990, the David Suzuki Foundation (davidsuzuki.org) was formed. 

“It has grown from a small group taking on national and international issues to a larger, bilingual one focusing on Canada’s place and role in a world facing multiple crises, from biodiversity loss to climate disruption. With offices in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, the Foundation focuses on evidence-based solutions aimed at climate resilience, ocean health, biodiversity protection, recognition of Indigenous rights and title, and public empowerment.”

He’s travelled the world speaking passionately about the environment. He collaborates with scientists and environmentalists in driving change.

David has a background in academics, with an interest in genetics and went into broadcasting in the 1970s.
