Joseph Murphy

I am an independent scholar and writer based in the Highlands of Scotland specialising in environmental issues and sustainable development. Over the past 25+ years I have studied and sought solutions to many of the most difficult challenges linking people and planet, often working closely with policy makers, decision makers in business, non-governmental organisations and communities. I have also held research, teaching and management positions at some of the world’s leading universities, including Research Fellow in Sustainable Development at the University of Oxford and Professor/Chair of Environmental Studies at the University of Glasgow. In addition to six books and numerous research articles, my outputs include policy briefs, strategy documents and articles for newspapers and magazines.
