Martin Khor: Reflections and reminiscences TWN-SUNS

It is with the deepest sorrow that we share the news that Martin Khor (1951-2020), TWN’s Chairman and former Director, passed away peacefully in the early hours of 1 April 2020 in his home here.

Living with cancer since 2015, he had worked even harder as the inspiring mentor, strategic and action-oriented thinker, indefatigable advocate and wonderful husband, father and grandfather.

We cannot even begin to reach out to all of Martin’s friends and supporters who over decades, young and old, have marched with him to reject injustice and inequity among peoples especially of the South, and to defend nature again and again.

Herein below, are some memories, reflections and reminiscences from associates, colleagues and friends that provide a vignette of his life and endeavours, to guide us as we continue on the path he helped to chart.
