Nancy Wright
Chief Operating Officer, GLOBE Series
While Canadians were optimistic in the wake of COP21, that progress was finally possible, there was lots of heavy lifting still to be done – starting with a First Minister’s conference and finding ways for scientists, clean tech companies and civil society to engage governments making policy decisions in real time. And a lot of that heavy lifting was done by the GLOBE team, led by Nancy, who dovetailed the bi-annual GLOBE gathering of over 1,000 experts in sustainability with the descending army of government ministers and staff to facilitate and produce the most productive conference on the environment in Canada in decades.
