I'm a Turkish climate journalist currently based in Spain. 

My primary work is as the editor of Iklim Masasi ('Climate Desk' in English), a climate news service I founded in 2023. At Iklim Masasi, we collaborate with scientists to transform their work into news stories. We then share these stories with journalists, to be republished free of charge, or to be used as quotes. Our aim is to contribute to the dissemination of science-based information on climate change in Turkey's mainstream media. 

In addition to this work, I continue to write and edit stories as a freelance journalist.

In 2024, I worked as editor of the climate misinformation and greenwashing project at Teyit, Turkey's leading fact-checking platform. As part of this project, I commissioned and edited over 40 stories.

 

Meanwhile, my freelance work has been published at a number of outlets, including The Guardian, Politico and Climate Table. I also reported from COP29 as a fellow of the Earth Journalism Network's and Stanley Center's Climate Change Media Partnership Reporting Fellowship, and I'm an alumni of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network. 

Occasionally, I run  climate journalism workshop sessions.
