Not enough data
Charles Ellinas's focus is primarily on energy, especially in the context of Cyprus. His articles often cite data and government announcements, indicating a preference for factual and authoritative information sources.
Given his emphasis on the local energy sector, he may be interested in receiving pitches related to developments in Cyprus' energy industry, including renewable energy initiatives and climate change policies specific to the region. Pitches that offer insights into how these topics are impacting or will impact Cyprus directly would likely resonate with him.
Experts who can provide detailed analysis of local energy trends and policies within Cyprus would be valuable contributors. Additionally, those who can offer perspectives on international events as they relate to the country's energy landscape might also capture his interest.

The declaration stopped short of mentioning developing nations' voluntary contributions to climate finance, a main sticking point in COP29 talks.
In what is seen as a boost to COP29, the G20 backed a new climate finance goal. In their joint declaration on Tuesday, they said “We look forward to a successful New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) outcome in Baku,” adding -quite importantly- “We pledge our support to the COP29 Presidency…

With two days to go, developing countries drew a “super red line” on what they consider to be an acceptable climate finance goal.
One of the key subjects discussed at the Sustainable Future conference organised by Politico in Brussels this week was how the Green Deal will pan out under the new European Commission (EC). The EC has set climate goals to be achieved by 2030 and by 2050, but each member state…
Developments in Syria have been precipitous and momentous. Ahmad al-Sharaa, the leader of the Sharaa's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group that deposed al-Assad last Sunday, has already installed an interim government in Damascus. Despite promises of inclusiveness and toleration of other ethnicities and religions, it is too early to say what will be the direction of travel of the Syria that emerges out of this process.
