Liam Gilliver
Liam Gilliver focuses on climate stories that connect policy, science and everyday experience, with a particular emphasis on how environmental change reshapes travel and life across Europe. He covers the environment beat at Euronews, concentrating on climate impacts, risks and adaptation rather than only on weather events. His reporting is shaped by a background in travel and environment journalism and a stated aim of making climate coverage accessible to broad audiences.
Climate impacts on people, places and travel
Gilliver’s environment coverage frequently looks at how rising temperatures and changing weather patterns affect where and how people live, work and move. In his explainer on heat stress in Europe, he sets out what the phenomenon is, which regions are most exposed, and how infrastructure and health systems are tested by longer, more intense heatwaves.
He treats heat not just as a meteorological statistic but as a lived risk, linking temperature, humidity, labour conditions and public health into a single, concrete narrative. The same concern for lived experience appears across his wider work, where environmental change is framed through its impact on travel, tourism and mobility as much as through abstract emissions curves. Profiles of him as a reporter describe a specialism in both travel and the environment, and his portfolio spans stories on destinations, transport and the climate pressures now shaping them.
This combination gives his beat a strong “places” focus: climate change is covered as something that alters specific routes, regions and attractions, rather than as a distant global trend.
Tracking Europe’s climate policy and emissions
Gilliver also devotes substantial attention to European climate policy, especially the gap between stated targets and actual emissions trajectories. In his report on EU powerhouses like Germany being on track to miss the bloc’s 2030 emissions goal while Spain may exceed its own, he examines how different national paths add up against the overarching EU commitment to cut greenhouse gases by at least 55 percent compared with pre-industrial levels. The piece combines political context with numeric detail, showing which sectors and member states drive progress or shortfalls and what that means for future climate legislation.
This kind of story distinguishes his coverage from generic environment reporting that might stop at announcing targets or summarising summits: he concentrates on whether the policies are working in practice and which countries are moving fastest or slowest. His work across major UK newspapers has included finance and infrastructure topics alongside environment, which feeds into a climate beat that pays close attention to investment, large projects and the economic implications of emissions cuts.
The result is a style of climate policy reporting that is grounded in tangible outcomes and national comparisons rather than slogans.
Making complex environmental risks accessible
Gilliver is described in professional bios as an NCTJ-trained journalist specialising in environmental reporting and as being committed to making climate stories accessible for everyone. That commitment is reflected in the way his Euronews pieces break down technical terms and scientific concepts into short, direct explanations, often starting with definitions before moving to maps, case studies and practical examples.
In coverage of risks like heat stress, he explains how different variables interact, which groups are most vulnerable and what mitigation measures matter, avoiding jargon while retaining specificity. Fellowship and contributor profiles emphasise his award-winning experience and his focus on clear, engaging climate storytelling across multiple outlets, including several of the UK’s largest newspapers. His articles tend to favour straightforward structure, concise paragraphs and a service-oriented angle, giving readers enough detail to understand the issue and its relevance without overwhelming them.
This accessible explainer style, backed by formal training and experience in both news and feature formats, marks his environment reporting out from more narrowly technical or purely advocacy-led coverage.
Cross-outlet experience in environment and travel
Gilliver’s Euronews work sits alongside a broader portfolio across national newspapers and digital outlets, where he has reported as a senior journalist on topics spanning travel, health, finance, politics and entertainment.
He is credited with bylines in high-circulation UK titles such as the Mirror, the Independent, the i and the Daily Star, as well as other publications that carry his travel and environment reporting. This cross-outlet experience gives his climate coverage a wide-angle view of how environmental issues intersect with consumer behaviour, public policy and everyday spending decisions.
It also means his stories are written with a general news audience in mind, shaped by work across different desks rather than a narrowly specialist scientific background. Taken together, his role at Euronews and his broader career position him as an environment reporter who treats climate change as a thread running through travel, policy, infrastructure and personal choices, with a consistent focus on clarity and practical consequence.

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.
