Christian Ernhede
Christian Ernhede tracks how European environmental and climate rules emerge and evolve, focusing on decisions at EU level and their impact on industry and energy systems. He works as a senior correspondent on EU environmental policy for ENDS Europe, covering regulatory proposals, negotiations and implementation across climate, energy and pollution files. His reporting sits within a specialist outlet dedicated to European environmental news and analysis, so he writes for readers who need close attention to legal texts, compliance obligations and policy detail.
EU climate and environmental regulation
At ENDS Europe, Ernhede reports on how EU institutions design and revise environmental and climate legislation, drawing out the implications of new directives, regulations and reforms for member states and regulated sectors.
His stories align with the masthead’s remit of providing analyses, interviews, opinion pieces and updates on national and EU laws, with coverage that typically goes beyond headline targets to explain the mechanisms that make policy operative. When he reports on efforts to curb global methane emissions, he connects international ambitions to specific EU legislative tools, implementation plans and the obligations they create for companies and authorities.
Methane emissions and greenhouse gases
Ernhede returns to methane as a thread within his climate coverage, treating it as both a scientific and regulatory issue. In work on calls from EU institutions to tackle global methane emissions, he follows how diplomatic and political commitments are translated into concrete standards, monitoring requirements and enforcement structures for energy, agriculture and waste systems. His framing keeps greenhouse gas reduction targets anchored in EU law, reflecting ENDS Europe’s emphasis on detailed reporting of environmental legislation and its practical consequences.
Energy infrastructure and emerging technologies
Beyond methane, Ernhede has reported on gaps in EU regulation for new energy technologies such as power-to-gas, examining where support mechanisms and rules have not kept pace with technical developments. In that work he traces how evolving regulatory frameworks could enable or constrain infrastructure projects, including grid integration, storage and hydrogen-related investments.
This focus on system-level implications fits with ENDS Europe’s wider coverage of environmental policy intersecting with energy markets and technology deployment, situating climate objectives within the realities of Europe’s energy system.
Analysis-led reporting from the EU policy arena
Across his output, Ernhede writes as an analyst of EU environmental governance rather than a general assignment reporter, prioritising explanation of how individual initiatives fit into the broader legislative architecture. His articles typically set out the timeline and procedural steps facing key files, clarify the roles of different EU bodies and spell out where unresolved questions or regulatory risks remain for affected sectors. The tone is specialist and policy-focused, reflecting an audience of environmental and energy professionals who rely on ENDS Europe’s independent intelligence to navigate complex EU laws and anticipate future shifts in climate and environmental regulation.

Abby Wallace
Abby Wallace covers where energy, climate and politics meet, with a focus on how net zero, power markets and extreme weather affect people and institutions. She is an energy and climate reporter at POLITICO, covering U.K. energy policy, climate targets and the transition from fossil fuels. Her subjects include government and opposition debates over net zero, decarbonization, support schemes, infrastructure, public spending and climate adaptation. She also reports on energy companies, household bills, labor standards, supply chains and corporate accountability. Her work connects technical policy choices to jobs, competitiveness, public services and voter sentiment. She uses polling, expert voices and political analysis to examine public attitudes and government response to extreme weather. Before POLITICO, she worked on the companies desk at the Financial Times and the business news desk at Insider. She has also freelanced on politics, business and climate.
Adam Fulton
Adam Fulton is a digital news producer focused on fast-moving global stories where environment, conflict and politics meet. He works on the Guardian’s Australian operation, using rolling live blogs to cover geopolitical crises, climate-linked disasters and wars with clear structure and context. His Middle East coverage, including the Gaza peace plan, tracks tension between political messaging and on-the-ground realities, tying leaders’ statements to military movements, diplomatic reactions and humanitarian reports. His disaster reporting, such as on Nepal–Tibet floods, links rising tolls and missing people to infrastructure damage, rescue strain and cascading environmental threats. His Ukraine war blogs treat resource scarcity, especially water and energy, as strategic factors and track how infrastructure damage shapes the conflict. A former entertainment and arts reporter and senior editor at major Australian newspapers, he applies careful pacing and narrative arcs to collaborative, time-stamped live coverage.
Alec Luhn
Alec Luhn is an environment reporter whose work follows climate change at its extremes, frontiers and human consequences, often reporting directly from places where warming, instability and displacement intersect. He covers climate, conflict and migration, showing how abstract climate trends turn into risks for communities, infrastructure, health and preparedness. He reports for New Scientist on climate breakdown, extreme events, El Niño, limits of models, melting glaciers, warming seas and adaptation to heat, mixing scientific explanation with lived experience. A defining strand of his work is reporting from remote icy and mountainous regions on Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost, polar bears, pollution and fragile ecosystems. He has a long record on conflict and security, including the Skripal poisoning case. His reporting appears in New Scientist and major international outlets, with work across print, digital, audio and television and recognition from climate and journalism awards.
Amy Lyall
Amy Lyall is a regular contributor to The Connexion, and her work stands out for turning French rules, services and the built environment into clear, usable advice for everyday readers. She covers housing, energy use, resident obligations and the practical steps behind things like getting air-conditioning approved for flats. Her beat also includes national and local schemes, insurance and legal conditions for lending a car, mobile network coverage, mosquito-borne diseases, water filters, fruit harvests and emergency drones with defibrillators. She writes news, practical guides and magazine-style features, using plain language to explain technical topics and official systems. She also writes explainers on French words and phrases and occasional culture pieces on unusual sites such as Maison Picassiette.
