Zac Goldsmith MP

MP for Richmond Park

Zac Goldsmith  is the Conservative MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston.  He was the Editor of the Ecologist Magazine for 10 years and remains Director of the Ecologist. In 2005 he was asked to oversee a wide-ranging review of environmental policy for the Conservative Party. The Quality of Life Policy Review was delivered to David Cameron in September 2007. Many of the recommendations have since become Party Policy. In between his work with The Ecologist and his political campaigns, Zac raises funds for groups around the world dealing with issues ranging from agriculture and energy to conservation and climate change. In 2003 Zac was the recipient of the Beacon Prize for ‘Young Philanthropist of the Year’. In 2004, he received the Global Green Award for ‘International Environmental Leadership’. In September 2009, Zac’s book, ‘The Constant Economy’ was released. It looks at the key environmental problems we face, and provides a workable programme for action.
