Benjamin Jervey

Ben Jervey has been covering and working in the climate, energy, and environmental fields for a decade. He is a regular contributor to OnEarth Magazine, the independent publication of the Natural Resources Defense Council, and to Desmogblog. He was the original Environment Editor for GOOD Magazine, and wrote a longstanding weekly column titled "The New Ideal: Building the clean energy economy of the 21st Century and avoiding the worst fates of climate change." He has served as Environment Ambassador to the Pepsi Refresh Project, has tracked the U.S. position in international climate negotiations for the Global Campaign for Climate Action, and has served on advisory boards for a number of New York City sustainability organizations. His reporting and work on climate change and clean energy have brought him from the streets of New York to the glaciers of eastern Greenland to the plenary halls of United Nations climate negotiations to the mountain villages of Vietnam. A few years back he wrote a book--The Big Green Apple--on living a lower impact life in New York City. A bicycle enthusiast, Ben has ridden across the United States and through much of Europe
