News editor
Joe Lo has been news editor at Climate Home News since 2023. He joined as a reporter in 2020 after stints writing about container shipping, Scotland and British politics. He’s particularly interested in where ‘investment protection’ meets the climate and has reported on this issue in Grenada, Slovenia and across Europe and Asia. His climate reporting highlight was two weeks at Cop26 in Glasgow, watching the final deal dramatically get done. He’s a huge Chelsea FC fan and a distant relative of Bruce Lee – although his own martial arts career ended quickly as his feet got too cold.
