Biography
Dr Doran has worked in the environment and sustainable development policy area for over ten years at the United Nations, in the NGO sector, and in legislatures in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. On his first appointment to Queens University, he launched and managed the flagship Masters programme in leadership and sustainable development, in partnership with Forum for the Future.

He is a senior editor and writer on the 'Earth Negotiations Bulletin' for the International Institute for Sustainable Development at United Nations negotiations on climate change and sustainable development. As Campaigns Manager for Earthwatch - Friends of the Earth, Republic of Ireland, he oversaw campaigns on nuclear testing in the pacific and the NGO's work on new waste management legislation. With the Foyle Basin Council, a cross-border Local Agenda 21 NGO based in Derry, he worked with Derry City Council and Donegal County Council.

During the Northern Ireland Assembly's first mandate, Dr Doran served as the Research Officer responsible for environment and sustainable development issues and worked closely with the Environment Committee. He spent part of the Assembly's suspension period working on policy with the Green Party parliamentarians in Dáil Éireann.

Dr Doran is the chair of the Lifeways psychotherapeutic service for young people in Derry, a member of the steering group for the Northern Ireland Green Living Festival, a founding member of the Green Party, and a member of Amnesty International.
