Alastair Brown

Alastair Brown joined The Lancet Planetary Health in May 2019 after working at Nature Climate Change since its launch in 2010, where he oversaw the climate change impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation section of the journal. Before that, he worked in a policy-facing role at the UK Climate Impacts Programme, engaging with willing branches of government and the private sector on ways to adapt to unavoidable climate changes. Alastair studied Environmental Science followed by a Masters in Global Environmental Change, both at the University of Plymouth (UK). His doctoral and postdoctoral research at the University of Southampton (UK) was in the field of palaeoclimatology. He has broad interests in the intersections of people and planet and the pressing challenges these pose.
