Caspar Henderson is a journalist and writer living in Oxford, England.
He was educated at Westminster School and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
After working as a film script reader in Los Angeles, an aid worker in Uganda, and a research assistant and junior journalist working on issues including human rights and the arming Iraq by foreign powers, he became co-ordinator of the Green College Centre at Oxford University from 1992 to 1994, which focussed on climate change and other environmental issues. In 1995 and 1996 he worked on Costing the Earth, the flagship environment program on BBC Radio 4.
From 1996 to 2002 he wrote on topics such as: energy, science, environment and human rights for The Financial Times, The Independent, New Scientist, The Ecologist, Environmental Finance, Green Futures (as senior correspondent) and other newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media. In 1999 he won the IUCN-Reuters award for best environmental writing in western and central Europe. From 1996 to 2002 he was also a consultant, analyst and writer for government, commercial and non-profit organisations.
From 2002 to 2005 he was a senior editor at OpenDemocracy, a project for open global politics, where he commissioned, edited and contributed to analysis and debate on globalisation, security, the environment, and the politics of climate change.
Recent publications include: A Pacific Odyssey, Debating Globalisation (with David Held and Anthony Barnett), Fragile Earth (with Troth Wells) and Heat and Light - UK energy and climate policy in context, and Potential Energy for the Institute of Physics (with Kat Arney and Gia Milinovich), and a background paper for the 2007 United Nations Human Development Report.
He is a contributing editor and member of the editorial advisory board at chinadialogue, and a member of the advisory group for Artists' Project Earth. He is writing a Book of Barely Imagined Beings, and keeps an occasional blog called Grains of Sand . He received the Roger Deakin Award from the Society of Authors in 2009, and the Royal Society of Literature Jerwood Award in 2010.
One of his favourite sayings comes from Franz Kafka: "There is hope; but not for you".
