Tim de Jong researches how we can create a more humane and sustainable society. He explores where the pain points are and, more importantly, how things can be done differently. In doing so, he strives to distinguish real solutions from nonsense and greenwashing.

Tim worked as a behavioral scientist for many years before transitioning to journalism. However, he still applies his psychological background to make the human side of the climate crisis understandable and relatable to everyday life. For Vrij Nederland, he conducted in-depth interviews with pioneers in the climate movement and created a series on stories that slow down or accelerate climate action.
