Accelerating young leadership to achieve a sustainable, prosperous, and socially just future.

Leading Change was kick-started during the 2012 GLOBE Conference in Vancouver with a week-long program, including a one-day Emerging Leaders Forum convening 150 Emerging Leaders – young and emerging professionals interested in the environment, clean energy and clean technology. The Forum complements the GLOBE Conference and is focused on building the next generation of corporate leaders, policy thinkers, entrepreneurs and community actors. Leading Change is a Canada-wide movement started by young environmental and sustainability professionals working together to catalyze action and influence positive change locally, regionally and internationally. The movement is unified through a series of exciting initiatives and participant ‘touch points’ that will be held to:
- Inspire, motivate and educate
- Facilitate ongoing dialogue and engagement
- Enhance connectivity and accessibility
- Expand diversity and collaboration

The objective is to address environmental, social and economic issues that are critical to attaining a sustainable future for the next generation.
