Daniella Tilbury
Professor Daniella Tilbury is internationally recognised for her research in the areas of sustainability leadership and organisational change in higher education as well as in education and learning for sustainability. She has been celebrated for her contribution to re-orienting higher education towards sustainability.
Her PhD research undertaken at the University of Cambridge was the first to look at institutional development for sustainability within higher education (1993). She has been the recipient of several awards including the Macquarie. Innovation Award, the 2008 and 2010 Green Gown Award for institutional change for sustainability. Daniella led a large HEFCE funded 'Leadership, Governance and Management' project on embedding Education for Sustainability into quality assurance and enhancement processes in higher education (2010-12).
In 2005, she was chosen by the Australian Government as the Founding Director of the Australian Research Institute in Education for Sustainability (ARIES) and supported with a $6 million dollar grant to undertake applied research which could inform government policy and practice in this area. Independent evaluations confirm that ARIES research has shaped government frameworks and investment as well as business education practice for sustainability across Australia.
In 2012, Daniella led the development of the 'Rio+20 Sustainability in Higher Education Treaty' which was signed by over 80 higher education agencies and organisations and informed dialogues at the UN Summit.
She is a Fellow of the Salzburg Global Academy, the Royal Society for the Arts and the Leadership Trust. She Co-Chairs the Sustainable Futures Leadership Academy (SFLA) and was President of the Copernicus Alliance of Universities (2012-14). She also sat on the Ubuntu Committee of Peers until 2014.
Daniella served as Chair of the UNESCO's Global Monitoring and Evaluation Expert's Group which advised on the assessment of global progress during the UN Decade in Education for Sustainable Development(ESD) between 2005-2014. In this capacity, she framed the first and second UN Global Reports on ESD. She led the IUCN-UNESCO Asia Pacific ESD Indicators Project and the UNESCO research into Good Practices in Cultural Diversity and ESD. Daniella was the UK government nominated member of the UNECE Expert Group on ESD Competences.
Daniella became a Marie Curie International Fellow in 2009 and was funded by the European Commission to lead ‘Learning and Living Sustainably: Building interdisciplinary research capacity and expertise in social and professional responses to sustainability’.
Daniella has over 100 books and refereed articles and has given keynote addresses in conferences across the globe. Most significantly, she was a keynote speaker at the UN World Conference in ESD (Bonn 2009);the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg 2002); Rio+20 (Brazil 2012) and the World Environmental Education Congress, Morocco (2013). In 2015 she organised an IUCN CEC formal event at COP21.
Her early work focused on monitoring and evaluation of sustainability and sustainability education frameworks. She has assessed strategic initiatives for government agencies; conducted participatory evaluations for EU programmes and evaluated field projects in Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, China, Hungary, Vietnam, Australia, Spain, Tunisia, and Italy.
She was a University Dean and Director at the University of Gloucestershire between 2007-2015. Daniella was responsible for the University's academic and operational performance in sustainability.
