It was a life highlight to visit the Kajang, an Indigenous tribe from Indonesia for @washingtonpost. How can we save the world's rainforests? They may have the answer.

I've uncovered a questionable use of the EU's €26.7 billion Just Transition Fund to pay sauna festivals, axe throwing centres, and dance marathons - sparking fears that billions of euros are going to waste - or worse. My report for @ContextNewsroom.

I've been digging into the extremely fishy decision in December 2024 to classify yellowfin tuna in the Indian Ocean as no longer overfished. Critics say the EU’s powerful, billion-dollar fishing lobby is behind it. My story for @DialogueEarth_.

It’s 37C in Paris. This is the queue to get into a swimming pool. I’ve never seen anything like it. Several police officers have arrived to control the crowd.

Reporting thanks to support from @journalismfund and @journalismarena. Expect more reporting on the just transition soon.

These funds are meant to help shift communities and regions away from fossil fuels, such as retraining coal miners for the energy transition. Critics warn the delays risks mass unemployment, rushed misspending, and a backlash against green policies à la gilets jaunes.

The EU promised workers billions to go green. They're still waiting. Less than 3% of the flagship €26.7 billion Just Transition Fund has been spent, despite running for more than four years - and just two left. My scoop for Thomson Reuters Foundation

I profiled Andrés Torres, the visionary Catalan chef and humanitarian activist, for @NatGeo. He spent years living with Indigenous peoples in Latam, drove to Ukraine as the war broke with 500 bags of groceries and now runs a 98% self-sustainable restaurant.

I wrote about how community seed banks are taking root for @NexusMediaNews, helping farmers in Central American farmers adapt to climate change and protect heirloom seeds.

I've been digging into the EU's policy on Islamophobia - what is actually being done to fight it? - for @onlinehyphen. Rights groups, researchers and even the Commission's lead expert told me of almost zero funding, far-right abuse and political inaction.

My report for @AJEnglish from Awra Amba, a utopian and pacifist community in the central highlands of Ethiopia. They won awards for their peacemaking and conflict resolution - but they have been caught in the crossfire of Ethiopia's latest civil war.

I'm really happy to be selected for this reporting institute run by @DartCenter, @CGCParisCenter, and @Columbia. Looking forward to meeting this incredible cohort!.

@Villepin On French foreign policy, @Villepin says that "many mistakes" have been made, but does not give any examples. It has not been " as clear as well inspired as I wished". But he praises Emmanuel Macron's focus on "strategic, European autonomy" in the tradition of De Gaulle.

When asked whether he plans to run for president in 2027, @Villepin dodges the question. “Everybody is a candidate for the presidency". "We are not in a moment when these questions [of candidacy] are raised. We should [first] be able to find out who is fighting for what".

Dominique de Villepin goes as far to say that there is a “strong risk” of a new World War. But he argues there will be a reaction. "This can lead to an awakening of democracy around the world. We are going to fight for it more than ever.".

Dominique de Villepin adds that the high US tariffs will lead to inflation, and eventually "economic crisis". This can’t be done “without any consequences” he warns. "It's a black hour" and the "biggest challenge since 1945".

In Paris, former French prime minister @Villepin tells a press meeting that Donald Trump's foreign policy has been "provocative, arrogant and destructive" and calls it broadly an attempt at “strategic humiliation”

For those who couldn't make it, the @sejorg event's full recording is now online. Really interesting chat with @bobbymagill, @xtygeo, @Debkrol, @TBWheeler, @_thehalparker, @aparnamuk, @lisalsong, @m_joel17, @cgrey307 on environmental journalism's future.
