Jonas Mayer is an environmental and climate reporter. He works across all genres and platforms, ranging from 30-second TikTok videos to 30-minute podcast episodes. In his work, he tries to connect detail with the big picture, sensory experiences with scientific facts, and human stories with politics, economics, and societal change. He doesn’t stop at “what’s happening?” or “who did it?” — he looks for potential solutions: “Here is the problem, but what now?” Jonas studied journalism in Darmstadt, Germany, while working for local media organizations. He then spent a year in media development with Deutsche Welle Akademie in Yangon, Myanmar, where he witnessed the effects of climate change, environmental pollution, and economic injustice up close. He went on to complete a master’s degree in sustainable development in Kiel, Germany, and Bergen, Norway. Since 2022, he has combined his journalistic skills and eye for compelling stories with his scientific knowledge and curiosity. He also serves as the editorial lead of a small indie magazine based in Berlin.
