Elizabeth Dowdeswell is Visiting Professor at the University of Toronto. Her eclectic public service career has spanned provincial, federal and international borders and transcended traditional disciplinary lines. Throughout, her focus has been on engaging the public in public policy-making, seeking innovation in the successful management of organizations through change, and strengthening communications and education as means to achieve results. Her global vision and pragmatic managerial skills are the focus of her current management consulting business and position at the University of Toronto. Professor Dowdeswell served as Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Under Secretary General of the United Nations, and Assistant Deputy Minister of Environment Canada, where she was responsible for the national weather and atmospheric agency and led a number of public inquiries into such politically sensitive issues as Canada's unemployment benefits program and federal water policy. Her early career included terms as Deputy Minister of Culture and Youth for the Province of Saskatchewan, educational consultant, university lecturer, and high-school teacher.
