An announcement from Climate & Environment Editor Zachary Goldfarb, Deputy Climate & Environment Editor Juliet Eilperin and Visual Enterprise Editor for Climate & Environment Simon Ducroquet:
We are pleased to announce that Climate visual journalist Niko Kommenda will also become a Climate Lab columnist, producing visual and data-driven stories about climate, the environment and extreme weather for our popular feature.
While continuing to contribute visual storytelling to team projects, Niko will use his new role to illuminate the impacts of our changing planet in multiple spheres — from our health, to how we design cities, to how we interact with nature. These features will also explore how technology could help address climate change and better prepare us for extreme weather disasters — emphasizing nuanced analysis and unexpected impacts and solutions.
Since joining The Post in December 2022, Niko has captured the impact of environmental shifts in a range of ways. He worked with climate scientists to map the spread of extreme heat around the globe and investigated the threat of a blackout coinciding with a heatwave. He has also used data to answer everyday questions like which foods are the most climate-friendly or how reliable our weather forecasts are.
Niko will co-anchor the Climate Lab column with Daniel Wolfe, who is joining the Climate visual team.
Before The Post, Niko worked as a visual reporter for the Financial Times and the Guardian. His features include a visualization of the logistics and hurdles the European Union needs to overcome to wean itself off Russian gas and a data analysis of nearly 100 million flights that shows the airline industry recovering after the coronavirus crisis.
