Helping Canadians see themselves as climate leaders

Education and engagement to lead on climate action.

The Climate Crisis is a Crisis of Leadership

The climate crisis represents a failure of leadership. Outdated leadership models, characterized by short-term thinking, narrow focus on profit, and resistance to change, have contributed to the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Needless to say, outdated leadership models no longer serves us or the planet.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Make a Donation

More than ever, we need to empower Canadians to rethink what it means to lead regardless of industry, title, or experience. If no one leads, nothing will change and important opportunities for climate action will be lost.

Your gift can change that by supporting our programs that empower more Canadians to step into their leadership role and take climate action.

What is Transition Leadership?

Transition Leadership is the capacity to understand, implement, and inspire positive change to build a sustainable world. It is a set of skills that help you navigate complexity and create value that’s good for people, good for business, and good for the planet.

These competencies shape all of our education and training programs.
