Linda Pentz Gunter

Linda Pentz Gunter is an environmental leader who founded the international advocacy nonprofit – Beyond Nuclear – in 2007. She serves as the organization’s international specialist. As such, she networks with other anti-nuclear groups around the world, with a particular focus on her home nation of Great Britain as well as Europe, Japan and elsewhere. She is primarily concerned with the negative impacts of nuclear power on the environment and why nuclear power is not a climate change solution. She also advocates for nuclear weapons abolition.

In addition, she works to draw attention to the human rights and environmental justice violations of the entire nuclear power and nuclear weapons sector.

Linda is an articulate and compelling speaker with a wide-ranging knowledge about nuclear issues and has a particular skill in communicating a complex subject in simple, vivid and accessible terms. She is in frequent demand as a webinar host and interviewer.

She writes for and curates Beyond Nuclear International and has been published in The Hill, Truthout, Counterpunch, The Morning Star and Pressenza. Prior to her advocacy work she was a journalist, writing for the Times (UK), Reuters and others and appearing on national and local cable and network stations as well as on radio.
