African Communities Facing Climate Impacts - COP31 Voices

Why am I going to COP31? Because over the past year, I have visited more communities directly affected by the climate crisis than the average person probably ever will. I have sat with people, listened to their stories, documented some of their experiences and, at other times, simply listened quietly. From communities facing displacement and environmental destruction to people whose livelihoods, homes and futures are being threatened, I have seen that the impacts of the climate crisis are not just environmental. They are economic, social, cultural and deeply human. I am going to COP31 because these experiences should not end as stories told in affected communities. They deserve to be heard where decisions are made. Too often, the people making decisions are far removed from the realities of those living with the consequences. And even when affected communities want to reach their leaders, the bureaucracy, access barriers and complicated processes can make it incredibly difficult. I don’t want COP31 to be another space where people talk about communities without actually listening to them. So, from 9–21 November, I want to hear from you. Wherever you are in Africa, reach out to me. I will be in the comments and my DMs will be open. What struggles is your community facing because of the climate crisis? What stories do you think the world needs to hear? Which leaders, institutions or decision-makers do you want to reach? What would you want them to know if you had the opportunity to speak directly to them? I may not have all the answers, and I cannot promise to solve every problem. But I can listen, ask questions, document experiences and find ways to bring these realities into conversations happening at COP31. I cannot claim to speak for everyone I meet. But I can help create more space for their voices to be heard

UK Job Hunters 12+ Months - Job Market Climate & AI

UK Job hunters, has anyone been searching for a job for at least 12 months? I'd love to speak more as currently writing a piece on the job market climate and AI. #journorequest #jobmarketuk #jobsearch #ukunemployment

Mexico PRs - Sustainability & Wildlife & Human Rights & Travel

🇲🇽 Some news and a PR #journorequest: I will be reporting from Mexico from January till around June, which means I'll be on the look out for stories. 🇲🇽 In the past two years I've reported on wildlife electrocutions in Costa Rica,communities pushing through a climate resilience agendaonthe slopes of settlements in Medellín, former coca growers in eastern Colombia who have transitioned into a different crop, hiked Mexico's only long-distance walking trail, and covered how Jalisco, the Mexican state which then reported the most forced disappearances, was using different innovations to find missing people. I am likely to be based in Mexico City but I will also be roaming around for stories and might potentially cross into neighbouring countries so feel free to pitch me even if the story is a 24-hour bus ride or two away (I will be minimising flights for environmental reasons). PRs: I am looking for sustainability, wildlife, environmental, human rights and travel stories. Some of the above stories have come directly from PRs so there's a huge opportunity here for PRs to pitch me. The above stories will give you an inkling as to what I’m looking for, as will my portfolio, which I'll link to below. My email can be found on my website.

Public Health, Climate & Psych Experts - Climate Stress & COP31

Journo Request: For an upcoming article, I am looking to connect with public health experts, climate scientists and psychologists to seek insights on on how heat, floods, water stress, or glacial risks are affecting communities, and what developed and developing countries like Pakistan should prioritise at COP31? #journorequest #climate #climatestress #Pakistan #globalwarming #freelancejournalist

Climate-Tech Founders - Outlook Amid Market Strain

Sourcing for a Sifted story on climate tech: how are climate-focused founders feeling? It's a draining time for many. I know some are quietly packing it in, others are stumbling on. Anyone wish to share their outlook? Am consciously using a broad definition for "climate tech" which means some companies are in fact doing pretty well: those with a defence overlap; the ones that pitch themselves as solving a security or supply problem rather than simply cutting emissions. Not a uniform picture. Drop me a line at: [email redacted] if you'd like to chip in your thoughts. I'm wrapping up reporting today, so no one need reply to me beyond COP (i mean close of play rather than COP31).

Owners & Builders of Unique Cars - Stories & Features

Do you own something spectacular? Or are you quietly building something brilliant behind closed doors? Then I want to hear from you. Our newsletter keeps growing week on week, and I’m already planning features for 2027. The mission hasn’t changed: cars should be used as intended, and to create stories you’ll tell for generations. I want to document the lives lived with some of the coolest, most interesting and completely silly cars on the planet. Take this Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. It’s one of just two UK right-hand-drive cars delivered in Viola. Most collectors would lock a purple V12 Ferrari in a climate-controlled vault and refresh the auction results daily. This owner has driven over 20,000 miles in it himself, taking it well past 75,000 in total. More stories to tell than any car in bubble wrap! If you own a car with a genuine story, or you’re building the next great one, send me a message or feel free to nominate an absolute legend that you know. Great cars deserve to be driven. Proper stories deserve to be told.
