Gabrielle Walker is an expert strategist, speaker, and writer who helps businesses tackle global challenges, with a particular focus on sustainability and climate change.

She delivers keynote addresses to corporate audiences worldwide and is a skilled moderator of high-level debates, guiding panels that include global CEOs, former heads of state, government ministers, military generals, and global humanitarian leaders.
Her extensive media presence includes presenting numerous TV and radio programs for the BBC.

Gabrielle is the author of four books, including co-authoring the bestselling The Hot Topic: How to Avoid Global Warming While Still Keeping the Lights On, which Al Gore described as “a beacon of clarity” and The Times as “a material gain for the axis of good.” She holds a PhD from Cambridge University and has taught at both Cambridge and Princeton.
A self-confessed “ice addict,” Gabrielle has made over a dozen trips to both poles. Her adventures include climbing trees in the Amazon rainforest, swimming with piranhas, being sneezed on by a humpback whale, hooking lava out of a live volcano, and flying in zero gravity.
