Dr. Gabrielle Walker is a passionate advocate for climate action; her focus is at the intersection of business, NGOs, governments, and philanthropy. She has been working on climate change for nearly three decades. Her TED talk, What You Need to Know About Carbon Removal, has been viewed nearly two million times.
As the climate editor at Nature and features editor at New Scientist, Walker wrote countless magazine and newspaper articles, broadcast many programs for the BBC (TV and Radio) and has authored four books, including co-authoring the bestselling book, The Hot Topic: How to Tackle Global Warming and Still Keep the Lights On, which was described by Al Gore as "a beacon of clarity" and by the Times as "a material gain for the axis of good."
A self-confessed “ice addict”, Walker has made more than a dozen trips to both poles. She has also climbed trees in the Amazon rainforest, swam with piranhas, been sneezed on by a humpback whale, hooked lava out of a live volcano, and flown in zero gravity.
