Richard Matthews - Environmental Writer

I am an environmental writer, researcher, and journalist with over 20 years of experience producing in depth analysis on climate policy, clean energy, sustainability, and environmental systems. I work with law firms, consulting agencies, advocacy organizations, research institutions, and climate focused companies that need accurate, well reasoned content for professional and policy audiences.

​

My work sits at the intersection of policy, business, and environmental change. I specialize in translating complex and technical subjects into clear, structured writing without sacrificing accuracy or nuance. This includes topics such as climate regulation, clean energy systems, sustainable finance, environmental health, and emerging green technologies.

​

I bring an interdisciplinary perspective informed by formal study in psychology, geography, sustainability, and journalism. This background allows me to assess environmental issues not only from a technical standpoint, but also through their social, political, and economic implications. The result is writing that is analytical, balanced, and accessible to diverse audiences, including policymakers, business leaders, and environmental advocates.

​

I have published thousands of articles and contributed to reports intended for decision makers, including work for the United Nations Environment Program. My research and analysis have been cited across academic and policy focused publications, and I am currently spearheading Change Oracle’s Polycrisis Project, which examines the interconnected nature of climate, political, and economic crises.

​

Clients work with me when they need an environmental writer who combines subject matter expertise with strategic clarity, understands complex regulatory and market contexts, and delivers content that informs decisions.
