Andrew Irvin is a writer focused on making climate futures understandable to the public. Working across screenwriting, fiction, and comics, he translates complex climate and urban systems into narratives that reach audiences who will never engage with technical reports. His creative work is grounded in more than a decade of climate and Pacific policy experience, where he worked on climate adaptation, public engagement, and risk communication across the Asia-Pacific region.

Andrew is currently a Research Fellow at the Melbourne Centre for Cities and a PhD candidate researching how people understand climate change and why certain narratives succeed when technical communication fails. His work addresses a critical challenge: increasing public understanding of climate futures in ways that feel urgent, human, and actionable.

His outputs include the television pilot Climate Bites, comics and long-form fiction examining systems and planetary change, academic research on narrative and public comprehension, and editorial work with Comic Book Yeti supporting contemporary genre storytelling. Across all formats, Andrew’s work centres one question: How do we help people see the future before they have to live through it? His goal is to build narratives that bridge climate research and human experience in ways that increase public understanding and engagement.
