Ben Garside

Ben was a senior correspondent at Reuters News, covering carbon markets and climate policy, with a focus on EU developments. He was previously a correspondent at Point Carbon’s news service, which was gradually integrated within Thomson Reuters following its acquisition in 2010. At Point Carbon, he was editor of Carbon Market Europe, the world’s longest running carbon market newsletter until it closed in autumn 2014. Ben has also written for Metal Bulletin, a trade publication covering global metals markets, a news magazine in Bolivia and several newspapers in the north east of England, where he was born.

He has a postgraduate diploma in print journalism from the University of Leeds and a degree in law from the University of Sheffield. He plays more Ultimate Frisbee than is good for him and is a not-very-loyal follower of Newcastle United Football Club.
