Environmental groups in UK ‘still very white – especially at the top’

Greenpeace co-director responds to report finding fewer than one in 20 working in sector identifies as non-white

Environmental organisations are still very white, especially at the top", the co-director of Greenpeace has said as research showed little to no improvement in the ethnic diversity of their workforces.

Areeba Hamid's comments came as the third annual racial action on the climate emergency (Race) report into diversity among environmental charities found fewer than one in 20 of those working in the sector identified as people of colour or as other racial or ethnic minority groups.
