Why am I an OPEN Fellow? |
I believe that OPEN is an idea whose time has come. The groundwork done by WWF including Jean-Paul, Sally and Jonathan, together with the research done by Tony and his team, has shown that there is an active demand for this service. I would be delighted to be part of building the supply of such an important and necessary initiative if we are to address the challenges of the 21st century at the pace and scale required. |
