 About Me |
Gillian is a student in forest ecology and management, originally from Toronto, but currently working on her thesis for the University of Freiburg on the opportunities and constraints for smallholder farmers in the Congo Basin (Cameroon) to join onto a REDD scheme. Her interest in and concern over global environmental issues started at the tender age of 10 when she rallied her Grade 5 class into baking to save the Amazon Rainforest through a WWF fundraising program. The last few years have seen Gill narrow her focus to the intersection between the environment, natural resources extraction and climate change: her undergraduate thesis focused on cloud forests' responses to climate change in Guatemala, while during the last year she examined the interconnectedness of climate policy, mitigation and adaptation issues while interning at the FAO's Forestry Department in Rome . She is very excited to be part of the Canadian Youth Delegation to Poznan for the UNFCCC's COP14 pushing the Canadian and other national governments to speed up the creation of an effective post-Kyoto climate change protocol and take some serious action.
