Bill McKibben is the founder of 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign. He has helped launch opposition to big oil pipeline projects like Keystone XL and advance the fossil fuel divestment campaign, which has become the biggest anti-corporate campaign in history.
McKibben’s book The End of Nature (1989) is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change and has been translated in 24 different languages. He’s gone on to write many more books, and his work appears regularly in periodicals from the New Yorker to Rolling Stone.
He serves as the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College, as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has won the Gandhi Peace Prize. In addition, he holds honorary degrees from 19 colleges and universities. In 2014, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award, sometimes called the alternative Nobel. Foreign Policy named him to its inaugural list of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers.
