Gresham Professor of the Environment

The Professor of the Environment at Gresham College in London, England, gives free educational lectures to the general public. The college was founded for this purpose in 1597, when it created seven professorships; this was later increased to ten. The Gresham Professorship of the Environment was created in 2014, thanks to sponsorship by the Frank Jackson Foundation. It is the second Professorship to have been created at the College since its establishment.
