14. Carla Denyer
The Green Visionary
Carla Denyer has quickly become one of the most important voices in Britain’s environmental and progressive politics. Born in 1985, Denyer trained as a mechanical engineer before entering public life. That grounding in practical problem-solving has shaped her political style: evidence-based, solutions-focused, and always driven by principle.
She joined the Green Party of England and Wales and soon rose through its ranks, becoming co-leader in 2021. As a councillor in Bristol, she led bold initiatives, including the city’s declaration of a climate emergency in 2018 — one of the first in Europe, and a move that inspired dozens of other councils to follow suit.
Denyer has stood for Parliament multiple times, making Bristol Central a flagship seat for the Greens. Her campaigning combines clarity on climate with a wider commitment to social justice, showing that environmentalism cannot be separated from equality and fairness.
Calm, articulate, and visionary, Carla Denyer represents a new generation of green politics. She embodies the conviction that change is both urgent and possible, making her one of the most inspiring leaders on Britain’s political stage.
