Dr. Chiara Camponeschi is a Community Fellow at the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research. She holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Guelph, where she was a Pierre Elliott Trudeau Scholar, and recently completed a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Dahdaleh Institute, working under the Supervisor of DI Director Dr. James Orbinski. As an interdisciplinary researcher, her work is situated at the intersections of climate action, community engagement and planetary health. In particular, her research investigates how the principles of wellbeing, solidarity, and care can provide a blueprint for advancing 'integrative resilience' in ways that are more equitable, inclusive, and just. Her latest work investigates the co-design of 'infrastructures of care' as a pathway for stimulating responsive solutions to the polycrisis.
Dr. Camponeschi is also the founder of Enabling City, an international organization devoted to stimulating new imaginaries for transformative social change. She is the author of two popular publications, Enabling City Volumes 1 and 2, that are available in 5 languages, and has spoken at events such as the White House GreenGov Symposium in Washington, D.C., the ICLEI Resilience Cities conference in Germany, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Sustainable Communities conference, as well as the inaugural South by Southwest Eco conference in Austin, Texas.
