Matthew Shribman

I’m a scientist, environmentalist, speaker, advisor, serial founder, author and descendent of the same ambitious fish as everyone.

A little about me

I try to spend my time focussed on projects for the future of life on Earth.

​

I don’t have a governing board, but if I did, I'd want it to be a lantern fish, a few weaver birds, me, and a big lump of moss… and to be honest, I’d probably hold my tongue.

​

I don't love writing about myself, and so what I have for you are this picture of my dog and two bios written by Polly Gregson at the Eden Project.

 

One is serious, the other not. It's hard to tell which is which these days!

Two videos

My YouTube is full of short videos, but for now, here’s a TEDx I gave from a bubbly bathtub, and a quick video about why I do what I do.

My work

In the words of Rob Hopkins "I've been to the future – we won!".

​

We can, and believe that we will, overcome the systemic problems destroying our living world. We will regenerate and rewild.

​

The future we build together will be healthier and wealthier. It'll thrive with the living nature we all depend upon: fresh air, clean water, rich soils.

​

We will make it so.

​

I firmly believe that, when enough of us with the relative privilege and capacity to do so make active choices to serve those without a voice and those yet-to-be-born, we forge forwards.

​

And so I do my work trusting that it's a small arc of a much larger global circle – of good folks working towards a flourishing future for humans and the rest of nature.

​

For my part, this takes me into education, technology, governance, economics, (dis)information, politics and systems science.

​

There’s much to do – as there always will be!

AimHi Earth is racing to activate millions of nature-first thinkers, to bring about a future where nature has a seat at every boardroom, political and kitchen table.

AimHi Earth

I love to take complex science and make it enticing and understandable. I do this for broadcasters, big companies, start-ups, and an online following of roughly 100,000 people.

Teaching & tutoring

Having taught and mentored students all around the world, I am what they call a "Super Tutor". I teach science, maths, and some of the world's leading environmental campaigners.

I run a podcast with a bunch of people who are much funnier than I am! It's called A Piece of String.

My science podcast

I am busy writing a book about complex systems and nature. I also publish short articles on topics from cosmology and AI to ecology and economics.

My writing

I made an easy-to-understand widget showing the global level of CO2. It's used by national broadcasters in Japan and Canada, and I'm giving the code away for free.

My Music

I used to make a lot of music. My bands were called Sykes, matthew hidden and twin hidden. Now, I've re-released everything under the solo name Ash Lad – after the Norwegian fairytale.

My campaign group, Planet A, works to elevate science-backed solutions for big, global problems. Our most recent campaign helped to increase the UK's reforestation plans by 100x.
