Narrative:

On departure; a G hydraulic lo pr ECAM annunciated. That was followed by G hydraulic rsv lo. At the time we were operating in a high workload environment; on vectors and communicating with departure about an altitude change. When the ECAM annunciated; we requested a level-off and vectors while we worked the problem. The captain declared an emergency; and we prepared the aircraft for a return. We completed the checklists and requested vectors for a visual approach. The landing was uneventful. The captain stopped on the runway. Airport fire services were on hand to inspect the exterior. Maintenance towed us in to the gate.
