She is an editor for Rest of World and splits her time between New York and Vermont.
In 2019, she completed an MS in Science Writing at MIT.
Lockwood graduated Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude from Harvard, where she studied Folklore and Mythology and earned a Language Citation in Arabic.
She spent five years traveling in twenty countries on six continents to document 1,001 Stories on water and Climate change, funded in part by the Gardner & Shaw postgraduate traveling fellowships from Harvard and a National Geographic Early Career Grant.
About author(s): Devi Lockwood has written about science, Climate change, and technology for The New York Times , The Guardian , Slate , and The Washington Post , among others.
This book is a hopeful global listening tour for Climate change, channeling the urgency of those who have already glimpsed the future to help us avoid the worst.
from Denmark and Sweden to China, Turkey, the Canadian Arctic, and the Peruvian Amazon, she finds that ordinary people sharing their Stories does far more to advance understanding and empathy than even the most alarming statistics and studies.
She rides through Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia to listen to marionette puppeteers and novice Buddhist monks.
She frequently carried with her a simple cardboard sign reading, "Tell me a story about Climate change." Over five years, covering twenty countries across six continents, Lockwood hears from indigenous elders and youth in Fiji and Tuvalu about Drought and disappearing coastlines, attends the UN Climate conference in Morocco, and bikes the length of New Zealand and Australia, interviewing the people she meets about retreating glaciers, contaminated rivers, and wildfires.
In 1,001 Voices on Climate Change , Lockwood travels the world, often by bicycle, collecting first-person accounts of Climate change.
Journalist Devi Lockwood set out to change that.
Yet we don\'t often hear the Voices of the people most affected.
Catastrophic wildfires, relentless hurricanes, melting permafrost, and coastal flooding have given us a taste of what some communities have already been living with for far too long.
It\'s official: 2020 will be remembered as the year when apocalyptic Climate predictions finally came true.
