Director, Stamp Out Poverty — Senior UK Strategy Advisor
+ Read David's Biography
David Hillman learnt campaigning leading efforts to end Apartheid before going on to work on the campaigns to ban landmines and drop the debt and has considerable experience of bringing together the efforts of numerous non-Governmental actors to achieve change. In recent years, his work has pivoted to the Climate Emergency, most specifically the issue of finance for the losses and damages suffered by populations at the sharp end of a climate change they did not cause.
As campaign coordinator of Landmine Action (1996 – 2000) he worked for the achievement of the Ottawa Treaty and UK legislation to ban the manufacture, transfer, sale and military use of landmines. As UK arm of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, he represented the organisation for the presentation of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998. In 2000, he joined Drop the Debt as partner responsible for campaigns and mobilisation, playing a role in the cancellation of debt of the world’s poorest countries.
He is currently director of Stamp Out Poverty that has been working for a number of years on new sources of finance for development. Since 2005, David has led work for the Financial Transactions Tax (FTT) and in February 2010 helped create the Robin Hood Tax (RHT) campaign, a network of more than 100 UK charities, trade unions, faith organisations and green groups. This in turn helped spark Robin Hood campaigns in many countries including across Europe and the US. In 2012, France implemented the FTT, followed by Italy in 2013 and, most recently, Spain at the start of 2021. In 2013, as a number of European countries entered into negotiations to implement the FTT, David was awarded the Sheila McKechnie Achievement Award for Campaigning.
Since 2018, his focus has turned to the fossil fuel sector, proposing far greater taxation on their activities, both to incentivise a shift to renewables but also, as production is phased down, to use the revenues to help pay for the substantial costs of climate impacts being borne by vulnerable communities and countries. To strengthen this work, Stamp Out Poverty established the Make Polluters Pay coalition in 2021 to secure an international solidarity facility for Loss and Damage at the earliest possible time.
