Nigel Savage will be joining the panel “Intergenerational Wisdom and the Future of the Earth Community” at FORUM2020. In 2000 he founded Hazon, the Jewish lab for sustainability, with a wide range of programs focusing on turning Jewish life outwards to create a more sustainable world for all – and strengthening Jewish life in the process in vital and innovative ways. Hazon has been recognized by the Sierra Club as one of 50 leading faith-based environmental organizations.
In 2015 Nigel was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has twice been named a member of the Forward 50, the annual list of the 50 most influential Jewish people in the United States. He is a recipient of the Bernard Reisman Award, and has given Commencement speeches at Wagner (NYU, in 2011), at Hornstein (Brandeis, in 2014) and at Spertus (in Chicago, in 2018).
