7 June 2021: My new report launches today. This was a labour of love, pro bono project for Adfree Cities: At What Cost? – The impacts of advertising and consumerism on human, community and planetary well-being. The report tackles the environmental and social problems perpetuated by irresponsible advertising and consumerism, using the framework of international human rights law.
The report brings together evidence on the multiple rights violations perpetrated by advertising and associated excessive consumption, and acts as an extensive advocacy guide for campaigners, policymakers, academics, grassroots organisations and all those concerned with upholding human rights and environmental protection.
