From 2007 to 2008, Elizabeth was employed as an Environmental Health Officer for the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO). Elizabeth was involved in three Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Joint Programmes: a USD$19 million Climate Change Partnership Framework, a USD$5.8 million Governance for Water and Sanitation in China, and a USD$7.6 million Migrants and youth unemployment programme, collaborating with Chinese Government and counterparts to address identified needs in three areas: 1) overall policy; 2) mitigation, and 3) vulnerability assessment/adaptation. She also co-authored an Environment and Health Concept Note for the UN Theme Group on Energy Environment. See links to the English and Chinese versions of the Concept note below.
Elizabeth has worked in a research and policy capacity for the University of South Australia, Adelaide University and for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Energy Working Group Secretariat, where she worked on energy security and environmental sustainability issues in the APEC region. Elizabeth’s passion and interest in developmental issues has been catalysed through overseas experience working as a research officer for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya on the Sudanese border, and as a volunteer program officer for a HIV/AIDS NGO in Indonesia where she worked with sex workers and street children.
