Peter McCartney

Wilderness Committee

Climate Campaigner

Peter (he/him) lives on Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish territories in what's now known as Vancouver's West End. Peter mobilizes communities against destructive fossil fuel export projects and for a just transition to a post-carbon world. He feels lucky to have found a job that aligns with his values and allows him to meet so many people dedicated to moving them forward. Before the Wilderness Committee, Peter worked as a journalist writing about science and the environment — and high school sports if you would believe it. He enjoys losing himself in the grandness of nature and connecting with friends over board games.
