Author Information

As a young man in the 60s and 70s, Pete Wilkinson had seventeen jobs in three years, driving lorries, hawking encyclopedias, selling curtains. After his time at Friends of the Earth, as Greenpeace UK's campaigns director and as a Greenpeace International Director, he set up his own environmental consultancy promoting collaborative working with environmental adversaries rather than confrontation and built bridges between protagonists. In this capacity, while never wavering an inch from his environmental principles, he acted as a consultant to industry and government departments, working tirelessly to look for ways to resolve perennial environmental problems around energy in general and nuclear power in particular. In 2003, he was appointed to the government's Committee on Nuclear Waste Management and today still acts as a consultant to the Office of Nuclear Regulation, has many independent clients in business and industry and was recently appointed as Director of the NGO Nuclear Information Services. He is a member of the government's Geological Disposal Implementation Board, a founding member of nuclear Waste Advisory Associates and a co-opted member of the Sizewell site stakeholder group.
