FOGGG BACKGROUND

Planet Earth in 2025 is on the cusp of the extinction of the majority of its’ living inhabitants. There is now no doubt that humans have polluted the atmosphere, soil and waters to such an extent that many components critical to the future survival of all humans, many animal species and many forms of vegetable and other life-forms are at - or have passed - a tipping point. Different communities are taking urgent action, but the necessary level of coordinated action is taking too long.

In order to provide additional focus, FOGGG - “For our Great-Great-Grandchildren” - has been created to help organisations and individuals with these missions:

Influence the dialogue on the climate crisis away from the short-term to the medium- and long-term

(what’s going to be happening in 50, 75 or 100 years’ time?)

Get agreement on what we all mean by “a sustainable future”

(Do you agree with your family/neighbours what this means?)

Campaign on the issues of today that we all know need to be changed TODAY. (frequent flyers, insulation, SUVs, microplastics, wars etc)

The strap-line for FOGGG is : Working towards a society and planet fit For Our Great-Great-Grandchildren

FOGGG CIC is a new not-for-profit organisation established for this purpose, and the summary bullet-points of the FOGGG “Draft Vision 2149” [DV49] are attached in Appendix A and at http://www.foggg.org/DV49v1.html

The reason for starting with a vision is because it is considered to be unwise to start a journey without having an idea of where you are heading

FOGGG will collaborate with individuals and organisations who can move the Draft Vision forward to form a coalition of those who “do not disagree” with DV49

FOGGG will also distil the views of individuals and organisations to evolve a programme for informing and educating

FOGGG sees that there are 3 staging-points on the way to attainment of a Vision for 2149

The planet has set a target of “net Zero” by 2050 (or 2060 according to China). What this means is that global CO2 emissions will approach zero. HOWEVER, at that point the atmosphere will still contain dangerously high levels of CO2 and other toxins, and it will probably take another 40-50 years to remove that. Put another way, the planet needs to go on a diet and by 2050 it will have stopped gaining weight and it will then take 40-50 years to actually lose weight!
Once the planet has achieved “Net Zero” it will need to clear the soil, atmosphere and waters of manmade pollution and return them to a level where everything can thrive again. This will not be completed before the year 2100, but it can be reasonably assumed that commitment, plans and funding will then be in place for this to be moving forward.
The final stage will be devoted to directing additional resources to the final attainment of the non climate-change aspects of DV49. It is expected that at most this will take another 50 years. FOGGG will be ALL-DIGITAL without any print/paper output.

It should be clear that none of the individuals currently involved with FOGGG will live to see the fruition of FOGGG’s missions.

JOB OBJECTIVES

FOGGG requires a CEO whose tasks (these are for guidance) will be :

To work towards the achievement of the 3 “missions” outlined

To grow the number of people and organisations [“FOGGGers”] who can further refine the FOGGG Draft Vision 2149 to a point where a critical mass of people and organisations are able to say “I don’t disagree with this”. If need be, the 2149 date will be changed

To manage to process of identifying the best ways of running an information programme about the route to attain a sustainable society and planet. (FOGGGhorn?)

To put in place programmes to retain FOGGGers and motivate an increasing percentage of them to adopt lifestyles compatible with the attainment of the evolving Draft Vision 2149

In the case of organisations FOGGG should be seen as catalytic in the organisations evolving their own visions for a sustainable future whilst adhering to the general FOGGG principles

To oversee and manage the ongoing generation of the Draft Vision 2149

To devise and manage an economic model so FOGGG CIC is self-funding by 1st August 2027.To broaden FOGGG’s horizons beyond UK borders

FOGGG’s initial focus will be on the UK, and the initial language will be UK English. The role is geographically independent.

The initial budget (to include all costs including salary) will be £125,000 for the period to 31st October 2026. This amount has already been committed to FOGGG. Initially there will be tight oversight of all expenditure but it is hoped that this can be loosened very quickly.

With the approval of FOGGG's advisory Board and the FOGGG Board of Directors, the CEO will have total freedom to alter or amend any or all of this job description and objectives prior to appointment.

The CEO will be the first full-time employee of FOGGG and will be responsible to the Board of FOGGG CIC and guided by FOGGG’s Advisory Board. It is hoped that the successful applicant will become a Director of FOGGG CIC after the satisfactory completion of six months in post.

Self-starter, creative, ambitious, excellent communicator, passionate about DV49, committed to maintaining a low ecological footprint.
