ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM - ARTICLES & OPINION EDITORIALS
Why Covid-19 makes environmental racism undeniable - The Ecologist - May 2020
Published as the murder of George Floyd triggered the global Black Lives Matter movement, this op-ed explains that environmental racism (disproportionate impact of environmental hazards like pollution, poor water quality, air, food etc on marginalised communities) means Covid-19 is killing more Black, Latinx and Native American people than white counter parts.
Will agricultural technology keep food on our plates? -The Fair Observer - July 2019
This op-ed explores a range of global innovative businesses that have developed solutions for farmers in the face of this ecological adversity - and questioning to what extent these technologies can bridge the gap where political inertia remains.
Natural gas imports imperil the EU’s green image - The Ecologist - December 2019
In 2019, the EU was set to greatly expand its gas consumption via the Nord Stream 2 from Russia to Germany along with plans to double the volume of US gas imports by 2023. With the EU branding itself as a leader in green energy, I describe the hypocrisy of such plans when gas is not green but another fossil fuel.
Could Brexit farm nature back to health? - Politheor
In the wake of Brexit, the UK farming industry was predicted to lose £3 billion in EU subsidies. This op-ed argues that the National Trust proposal to pay farmers for environmental services, ensuring we value nature rather than production at all costs, should be seized as an important, sustainable opportunity of leaving the bloc.
Ivory trade: Back on the market? - Politheor
A 2016 ‘global ban on ivory trade’ left the EU in defence mode. The EU claims critics misunderstand their motives as a result of the legal complexities in the Convention for International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES). This op-ed argues the legal complexity is a red herring and the EU's decision is a shameful message that ivory is an economic resource.
