Oliver Gordon is a sustainability-oriented multimedia journalist, researcher and narrative strategist based in London. He produces longform, image-led narrative non-fiction on the environment, the energy transition and global development – reporting on the ground with a solutions-journalism lens that connects lived experience to the policy, finance and market forces shaping change.
He is the lead researcher and writer on JUST Stories at the Institute for Human Rights & Business, documenting practical pathways to inclusive and participatory “just transitions” to net zero. Previously, he was Net Zero correspondent at Energy Monitor and the founder and editor-in-chief of Struggles From Below, a longform solutions-journalism magazine.
Alongside editorial reporting, Oliver supports mission-driven organisations with narrative strategy and research-led communications – clarifying framing, strengthening evidence, and shaping stories and materials that can travel across audiences, from specialist stakeholders to the wider public. He is a former mentor at the Solutions Journalism Network.
Oliver has 14+ years’ experience writing, commissioning and editing across climate, energy, sustainability, finance, business, culture and development for print and digital. His work has appeared in outlets including The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Financial Times and Climate Home News, among many others, with reporting from Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas.
