About Alexander Kirk

My opinions and reshares here are 100% mine – no refunds or exchanges! Hi, I'm Alexander and welcome to my page! I’m a strategist specialising in high-impact advocacy on climate & geopolitical issues, combining political strategy and creative communications to shape policy and public opinion. Over the past five years, I’ve delivered nationally and internationally recognised campaigns that hold power to account, mobilise public pressure, and inspire climate action. At Global Witness, I helped design and lead work that cut through political noise and media spin, including: • Launching COP29.com, a first-of-its-kind campaign platform banned in the host country, Azerbaijan. • Projecting COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber onto smokestacks in Bonn to expose $100 billion in potential dirty energy deals. • Creating BP & Shell “Top Trumps” cards and the cheeky OilyFans campaign, landing global press coverage and keeping polluters in the spotlight. • Helping stop hydrogen heating in Redcar, exposing inflated industry job claims, and challenging the UK’s anti-renewables backlash. • Growing our Reddit reach to over 40 million views and sharing strategies with campaigners and parliaments worldwide. I’ve now joined Urgewald, a German-based NGO renowned for its fearless campaigns against fossil finance and coal expansion. In my new role as Strategic Communications Specialist, I’m focused on amplifying Urgewald’s research and advocacy in the media, supporting comms across Germany, and strengthening the fight to make polluters pay everywhere. My work is grounded in a BA in Geography (Geocomputation & Spatial Analysis) and an MA in Geopolitics, Territory & Security from King’s College London, where I researched blockchain in democracy and media narratives of global conflict. As an RSA Fellow, Climate Reality Leader, and a former 2025 Lincolnshire County Council election candidate, I’m driven by the intersection of geopolitics, technology, and social good. I thrive on building coalitions and challenging systems that perpetuate environmental harm. Let’s connect to talk campaigns, climate policy, or creative strategies for meaningful change.
