With degrees from Oxford and London Universities and a background in communication, entrepreneurship and on-the-ground environmental activism, Jojo Mehta co-founded UK non-profit Ecological Defence Integrity with barrister and legal pioneer the late Polly Higgins in 2017 to support the establishment of ecocide as a crime at the International Criminal Court. To crowdfund for this they launched the public-facing campaign Stop Ecocide, where supporters declare themselves Earth Protectors and contribute to a globally validated Trust Fund. Jojo is key spokeswoman for the work and overall co-ordinator of international legal/diplomatic and campaign teams.
