Amazon rainforest-based journalist and author. Global environment writer for The Guardian.

Carrington is completely on top of the environment brief, finding new information and writing in a clear and compelling way to explain to readers the urgency and enormity of the crisis we face, as well as solutions to it.

The Guardian’s environment editor, Damian Carrington, has published a wide range of agenda-setting journalism on the climate crisis, from exposing plans by the world’s fossil fuel giants for scores of “carbon bomb” oil and gas projects that would result in catastrophic climate impacts to rigorously compiling and analysing all of the scientific evidence on human-caused extreme weather events and bringing to public attention the controversial issue of “ghost flights” in the UK.
