He has reported on the climate and biodiversity crises from around the world, on issues ranging from cocoa farming in Ghana, carbon capture and storage in Norway, and the emerging hydrogen economy in Germany, in addition to covering six UN climate summits in Bonn, Madrid, Glasgow, Sharm El Sheikh, the UAE, and Azerbaijan.
