World Environment Commission
Dr. James Lovelock, Coordinator
Lovelock was born in Letchworth Garden City. He studied chemistry at the University of Manchester before taking up a Medical Research Council post at the Institute for Medical Research in London. In 1948, Lovelock received a Ph.D. in medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Within the United States he has conducted research at Yale, Baylor University College of Medicine, and Harvard University.
Career
A lifelong inventor, Lovelock has created and developed many scientific instruments, some of which have been adopted by NASA in its program of planetary exploration. It was while working for NASA that Lovelock developed the Gaia Hypothesis. In early 1961, Lovelock was engaged by NASA to develop sensitive instruments for the analysis of extraterrestrial atmospheres and planetary surfaces. The Viking program that visited Mars in the late-1970s was motivated in part to determining whether Mars supported life, and many of the sensors and experiments that were ultimately deployed aimed to resolve this issue. During work towards this program, Lovelock became interested in the composition of the Martian atmosphere, reasoning that many life forms on Mars would be obliged to make use of it (and, thus, alter it). However, the atmosphere was found to be in a stable condition close to its chemical equilibrium, with very little oxygen, methane, or hydrogen, but with an overwhelming abundance of carbon dioxide.
To Lovelock, the stark contrast between the Martian atmosphere and chemically-dynamic mixture of that of our Earth’s biosphere was strongly indicative of the absence of life on the planet. However, when they were finally launched to Mars, the Viking probes still searched for life there. To date no evidence for either extant or extinct life has been found (although interest has recently revived with the discovery of unexpected methane in the atmosphere). Lovelock invented the Electron Capture Detector, which ultimately assisted in discoveries about the persistence of CFCs and their role in stratospheric ozone depletion.
Lovelock was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974. In 1990, Lovelock was awarded the first Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for the Environment by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. An independent scientist, inventor, and author, Lovelock works out of a barn-turned-laboratory in Cornwall. In 2003, he was appointed a Companion of Honour (CH) by Queen Elizabeth II. Lovelock is currently president of the Marine Biological Association (MBA).

World Syntegration Commission
David Beatty, Coordinator
From 1965 to 2005, David Beatty was a professional consultant and university faculty member. At the end of his career as an organizational learning specialist, he focused on the issue of climate change, and, in particular, the use of citizen-based decision-making and alternative currency solutions. His main intervention tool is the Team Syntegrity® protocol.
His consulting and research focus is action learning in the area of collaborative problem-solving among multiple stakeholders in local/global contexts. Action learning means that the focus of the activity is on producing results, and that activity is used as the basis for re-shaping the personal and organisational models that govern behaviour relevant to the desired results.
Beatty brings 30 years of experience in designing interventions, and facilitating change at individual, group, and organisational levels. Since obtaining his Ph.D. in 1970 he has been a faculty member at four universities, and has successfully owned and operated a consulting business since 1978.
He has been studying and applying management cybernetics since 1975. This science of effective organisation is a pre-requisite for the design of effective information systems for decision and control. The dominance of digital technology is changing the meaning and contexts of life from individual to global levels. When integrated with the social processes of communities and learning, informatics offers an opportunity for sustainable development in the critical challenges facing us in the next twenty years.
