<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sheila Watt-Cloutier is in the business of transforming public opinion into public policy. Experienced in working with global decision makers for over a decade, Watt-Cloutier
offers a new model for 21st century leadership. She speaks with passion and urgency on the issues of today—the environment, the economy, foreign policy, global health, and sustainability—not as separate concerns, but as a deeply interconnected whole. At a
time when people are seeking solutions, direction, and a sense of hope, this global leader provides a big picture of where we are and where we're headed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In 2007, Watt-Cloutier was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy work in showing the impact of global climate change on human rights—especially in the Arctic, where it is felt
more immediately, and more dramatically, than anywhere else in the world. Watt-Cloutier an Officer of the Order of Canada; the recipient of the Aboriginal Achievement Award; the UN Champion of the Earth Award; the Norwegian Sophie Prize; and the Right Livelihood
Award, which she won in November 2015 and is widely considered the "Nobel Alternative".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Watt-Cloutier is the author of the memoir,
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Right to Be Cold: One Woman's Story of Protecting Her Culture, the Arctic and the Whole Planet</span></em>, published in 2015. The book was nominated for the 2016 BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction
and the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing. In 2017, the book was shortlisted for CBC Canada Reads, defended by Chantal Kreviazuk. Watt-Cloutier was also shortlisted for the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize.
