Over Elise
Climate Risk & Resilience Specialist | Climate Adaptation | ESG & Sustainability Strategy
I help organisations make sense of climate risk and turn it into practical, actionable strategies.
With 8+ years’ experience across climate resilience, sustainability, and infrastructure, I support governments, NGOs, and project teams with climate risk assessments, adaptation strategies, and ESG initiatives. My focus is always on making complex information clear, useful, and ready to apply in real decisions.
I’ve worked on everything from large-scale transport infrastructure projects in Australia to climate adaptation and resilience programs in international and low-resource contexts. This means I understand both the technical side and the realities of implementation.
I’m particularly strong at bridging the gap between data and action; turning analysis into strategies that actually work in practice.
How I can support you:
- Climate risk and vulnerability assessments
- Adaptation and resilience strategies
- ESG and sustainability strategy
- Resilient infrastructure and planning advisory
- Climate integration into infrastructure and planning
- Clear, high-quality reports and decision-support outputs
I enjoy collaborative projects and working with teams to tackle complex challenges. I’m motivated by work that creates real impact - strengthening systems, supporting communities, and enabling better decisions in a changing climate.
