Dr Giselle Wilkinson

Over those intervening years Giselle published her first book on sustainable living and eating called the Conscious Cook and is now working towards its sequel. She was an active participant in the Climate Emergency Network, Safe Climate Australia and the launching in 2010 of the Transition Decade to Restore a Safe Climate.

Tangentially, springing from the deeply philosophical base of Earth Housing Coop, Giselle enabled the establishment in 2011 of a ground-breaking initiative at 'Murundaka' Co-housing. This demonstrated that less un-affordable, more sustainable, urban housing could be built in the suburbs of Melbourne and that community living simultaneously builds resilience, reduces the costs of living and shrinks our environmental footprint.

Science-informed activist, author and artist, Giselle is a speaker on sustainability-transition and safe climate restoration. Her mission is to help us all explore what it means to FULLY understand the need for urgent Scale and Pace and overcome the many hurdles we face.

Giselle believes that through proactive collaboration to build and equip the next wave of engaged citizens and activists, the momentum of change can be accelerated to reverse global warming and restore the climatic conditions that are safe for all species, our civilisation and future generations.
