Centre for Environmental Rights – Advancing Environmental Rights in South Africa

Gabrielle Knott

Attorney

Gabrielle holds a BSc LLB from Rhodes University and an LLM in Energy and Natural Resources Law from Queen Mary University of London. With experience working on gas projects in the management consulting, development finance and intergovernmental spaces, she joined the Centre for Environmental rights in September 2021 as a specialist gas attorney.

Since completing her articles at Eversheds Sutherland, Gabrielle’s passion and personal interests have been in clean energy and the just energy transition; specifically, in meeting energy demands and ensuring energy equity through an environmentally sustainable energy mix. Her role at the CER is cross-cutting, as she challenges gas developments through the Pollution and Climate Change, Mining, and Corporate Accountability and Transparency Programmes.

In her spare time, Gabrielle enjoys being outdoors with animals more than anything else, but has brought nature indoors and spends plenty time caring for her ‘jungalow’!
