GACAD, Allison

Allison is a Senior Environmental Markets Correspondent for the Americas, based on unceded Coast Salish Territories in Vancouver.

She was formerly a writer at the Vancouver Tech Journal where she developed the publication’s climatetech beat, writing about and moderating panels on venture capital in the sector, public policy, and emissions abatement technologies.

Allison studied agriculture at the University of British Columbia and was previously a scientist and urban farmer before becoming a journalist full-time. Outside of North America, she has lived, worked, and studied in Southeast Asia, with a continued penchant for the heat of the region (in food and in temperature). She enjoys road cycling, rock climbing, and the occasional surf when she can make the trip out to a suitable coast.
