Chris Walker

Sustainability and Peace Programme Coordinator, Quakers in Britain

I am a Quaker and an activist living in London. I work with and on behalf of Quakers for environmental and economic justice. Quakerism is a way of life built upon principles of truth, equality, peace and simplicity rather than a written set of beliefs. Quakers have a long-held commitment to putting their faith into direct action in the world. In 2011, Quakers in Britain made a commitment to become a low-carbon, sustainable community. Since then, Quaker Meetings over the country have been reducing their environmental impact and calling for action for sustainability.

I also work on campaigns and policy at World Development Movement. In the past I have worked for Campaign against Climate Change and the Alternatives to Violence Project Britain.
