LEADING CHANGE HUBS
ABOUT LEADING CHANGE HUBS
Over the past few years, Leading Change participants have expressed they want more structured opportunities to:
- Connect with peers and senior leaders of sustainability and climate action spaces
- Improve soft skills to help drive personal or internal projects forward, and have a positive, influence on colleagues and community members
- Help each other stay motivated and combat the ongoing struggle with eco-anxiety
- Efficiently organize around a particular cause with relevant collaborators
In response, we launched Leading Change Hubs: small, focused groups composed of young sustainability leaders with similar career goals, industry experience, topic interests, or shared identities.
Earlier this year, the last round of Leading Change Hubs focused on topics around the circular economy and circular finance, sustainable and climate finance, and governance and social equity. This wave of hubs will focus on major themes that align with GLOBE Series’ Destination Net Zero Events. Destination Net Zero focuses on embedding action and accountability through a ’10 x 10′ lens: 10 actions, in 10 years, that we need to take to get to net zero.
We’ll lead on coordinating schedules, sending calendar invites, providing you with a platform for discussion and collaboration, facilitating discussions, and synthesizing next steps at each bi-weekly small group meeting. You’ll focus on deliverables and developing meaningful connections. Based on your preferences and interest areas, we’ll organize you into hubs of 8-12 participants to determine your final goals and objectives.
