The ENDS Report is a UK online magazine that provides, in its own words, “intelligence for environmental professionals, delivering news, analysis and reference across the carbon, environmental and sustainability agenda.” Every year it publishes the Power List of 100 environmentalists who have made the greatest impact.
It normally excludes politicians from the Power List, but with an imminent General Election it has published a separate list of 50 politicians who have been notable changemakers, rebels and local environmental leaders. It includes a number of Lib Dems.
Bobby Dean Bobby is a councillor in Sutton and our PPC for Carshalton & Wallington. He founded Speak Change, a communications consultancy helping charities campaign on global poverty, health and education.
Pippa Heylings Pippa is PPC for South Cambridgeshire, and a councillor in South Cambridgeshire District Council, where she chairs the Climate Change and Environment Advisory Committee. She has represented local government at the UN climate talks.
Wera Hobhouse Wera is the MP for Bath. She is our spokesperson for Energy and Climate Change and Transport in the Commons.
Kate Parminter Kate is a member of the House of Lords, known as Baroness Parminter. Until recently she chaired the Lords Select Committee on Environment and Climate Change.
Beatrice Wishart Beatrice is MSP for the Shetland Isles. She is Party Spokesperson on Rural Affairs in the Scottish Parliament.

Congratulations to all of them!
* Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice. She was a councillor in Kingston upon Thames, where she is still very active with the local party, and is the Hon President of Kingston Lib Dems.

Great to see them get some recognition, though it is concerning that they’ve listed 5 for us and 6 for the greens despite them being a much much smaller party.
I remember a time when we were the party of the environment and the greens were an irrelevant footnote it’s time that we reclaim that position.
Good to hear that some recognition is coming their way. I AGREE WITH DAVIG LG.
