Deeply saddened to read about the death of environmental lawyer Phil Michaels in issue 105 of Friends of the Earth's Change Your World magazine.
We first met Phil at an environmental justice event at the FoE offices in London (probably in 2004), where he talked passionately about the Aarhus Convention.
Subsequently we met Phil again at FoE's Power Up! weekend in August 2005 (held at the noteworthy Wentworth Castle near Barnsley), at the 2007 Road Block Conference in Birmingham, and at an Environmental Law Foundation conference in London.
Obituaries can be found on the FoE website and on the Independent website under the heading:
