Dr James Mitchell

James Mitchell is a CAB Direct author, reviewer and editor working in the Environment & Climate area. His background covers environmental science, climate policy and geography, and he is affiliated with the Northbridge Institute for Environmental Research.

His coverage centres on climate change, sustainability, biodiversity, conservation and environmental policy. As an author, he prepares evidence-based explainers; as a reviewer, he checks claims, terminology and source quality; and as an editor, he supports structure, clarity and consistency across environment and climate content.

Specialist review addresses factual accuracy and interpretation of evidence, while editorial checks cover clarity and sourcing. Content is revisited when major new evidence or policy changes require an update.
