Former MP Rebecca Pow is joining us as an ambassador.

A life-long environmentalist with a background in media and politics, Rebecca is former Environment and Nature Restoration Minister (2019-2024). She steered the Environment Act through the UK Parliament, the largest legislation in two decades.  In her capacity as Water Minister she instigated a new holistic Plan for Water with recommendations for transforming the water sector to meet future supply and environmental requirements. As Overseas Territories Minister she worked on Biodiversity Strategies and ocean conservation.

Rebecca was the first UK TV Environment Correspondent, a presenter of the first organic gardening series on TV and one of the first women to produce and present BBC Farming Today, 

Rebecca received a Green Heart Hero Award from the Climate Coalition and was nominated in the top 50 women who have most influenced Environmental policy by the ENDS report. 

We are very happy to welcome Rebecca to CHASE Africa and look forward to working with her.
