Eve Driver is a writer based in Brooklyn and Boston.
She studied Social Studies at Harvard, advised by Sheila Jasanoff. Her thesis on disagreements about attributing Cape Town’s ‘Day Zero’ water crisis to climate change received the STS Undergraduate Essay Prize, summa cum laude, and an adaptation published by the magazine affiliated with MIT’s Knight Science Journalism Program.
After graduating, she lived in Nairobi and wrote a long-form investigative piece about an eco-tourism lodge mysteriously burned down. She also wrote about ESG investing, innovation, and political division for Quartz and Grist, and personal essays in the Tusculum Review and Harvard Magazine.
She then worked as a strategy consultant for Bain & Co and the U.S. Department of Energy, leading a group of 80 stakeholders to coordinate the strategic deployment of $12B of funds allocated for ‘carbon management’ by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
She then published a co-authored memoir called What We Can’t Burnwith a classmate critical of the climate activism she took part in as a student. The book received praise from Bill McKibben, Leah Stokes, Katharine Wilkinson, Kennedy Odede, and others, and is recommended to incoming Harvard freshmen. She was invited to speak at a dozen bookstores around the U.S., as well as at Harvard, Tufts, Princeton, Brown, Smith, Duke, Lewis & Clark, UC Riverside, Wake Forest, the Winsor School and the University of Nairobi.

She is currently a Fellow at Harvard’s Safra Center for Ethics, where she is developing a podcast modeled after What We Can’t Burn, in which she speaks with friends, couples, and colleagues about how they navigate their most challenging moral or political disagreements. It is expected to launch in Fall 2026, and will be called In Good Faith.
She has written an unpublished collection of poetry called This Vast Artifice, with excerpts in Emergence Magazine, Loam Magazine, and licensed for use by the Aspen Institute. Zines and illustrations have been sold at the Frenchmen Art Bazaar in New Orleans by her friend and collaborator Em Koch, and featured in the Leonard Cohen cabin at The Fork Inn in Tennessee.
She was Co-Editor of the climate magazine It’s Freezing in LA!’s 2026 issue about Power.
She is represented by Andrea Blatt and at work on her first novel.
