I cover climate change, energy transition and tech innovation.
I am an award-winning freelance journalist based in London.
I write reports about climate change, energy transition and technological innovation for a wide range of publications in the UK, US and China, including BBC Future, Nature, Caixin, Semafor, Scientific American and Dialogue Earth.
I don’t like jargon, and try to avoid acronyms. I want my articles to be understood by as many people as possible, not the selected few.
My reporting languages are English and Mandarin. Both are decent, I’d say. Try me: tracyyou.sh@gmail.com.
(You is my surname, by the way, and You Xiaoying is the correct order for my name in my native Chinese culture.)
