Sunny Hundal

Sunny is the founder and director of Cheap Clean Energy Alliance. He's been a campaigner on climate change and took part in Climate Camps and G20 protests in the 90s. As a journalist, he reported from these events and criticised journalists like Andrew Neil for climate denial (and got blacklisted from parts of the BBC over it). He also worked privately and publicly to get Labour to take climate change seriously. More recently he worked at Britain’s largest environmental litigation firm and energy retailer (Octopus Energy). His focus on tackling the climate crisis has been unswerving.
