Hi, I'm Tom

Tom Walker

I’m an independent researcher and editor.

I research complex and opaque systems, and how they affect people and the environment.

I specialise in work focused on transparency and accountability, particularly related to forests, land rights and AI. I’m also particularly interested in how civil society organisations can use technology effectively.

Over the last ten years, I’ve worked in more than 17 countries, and interviewed people from over 300 organisations. Here are some projects I’ve worked on:
