Nina Lakhani

Nina Lakhani is a British journalist currently serving as Senior Climate Justice Reporter for Guardian US, a role she began in 2022 after joining The Guardian full-time in 2019. With a unique career trajectory, she transitioned from mental health nursing to journalism, initially working for The Independent and Sunday Independent in London before relocating to Mexico in 2013 as a freelance correspondent. Over seven years covering Latin America, she developed deep expertise in environmental conflicts and Indigenous rights, notably breaking the international story about Honduran activist Berta Cáceres' assassination and its connection to US-trained military forces. Her investigative work on this case culminated in the 2020 book 'Who Killed Berta Cáceres?'. Lakhani's reporting consistently focuses on climate justice, resource conflicts, and systemic inequities affecting marginalized communities.
