For Canadian sustainability professionals who want to accelerate climate action within their workplace or community.
We’ll be talking about how to lead sustainable change through transferable, non-technical skills related to:
Aligning the interests of stakeholders and securing their commitment to guide efforts related to climate action and sustainability.
Navigating change, guiding teams through transformations, overcoming resistance, and creating an environment that welcomes and implements climate-conscious initiatives.
Connecting climate work with DEI, and recognizing the intersectionality of environmental issues and social justice to ensure equitable climate solutions for all.
Fostering collaborative partnerships, both internal and external, to maximize collective impact in addressing climate challenges.
Addressing burnout, eco-anxiety, and fostering mental well-being by creating supportive environments and advocating for balanced work practices to sustain effective climate action.
Empowering others to become advocates for climate action through meaningful engagement practices and skill building.
The transition to a sustainable future isn’t just about technological solutions; it’s also about the people who are leading it. Building our leadership capacity becomes incredibly important to cultivate the mindset, skills, and vision to mobilize collective climate action.
Our network is a place where members can talk candidly about changing organizational dynamics and discover new leadership approaches that prioritize both people and the planet.
Sustainability professionals hold some of the most challenging roles trying to steer their organizations toward a climate-positive future. Our work is undeniably tough, often leaving us feeling isolated, lonely, and burnt out with few spaces to go to discuss the difficulties we face both in our professional and personal lives.
Our network aims to be a supportive and generative space for collective learning, sharing, and development to help you work through Transition Leadership challenges with peers who get it.
Access a national peer network across sectors and organizations to engage, share experiences, and seek advice on leading climate action within your organization.

Our focus of the membership is on leadership, primarily the transferable, non-technical skills to lead a just and inclusive transition. While this membership isn’t focused on the technical aspects of sustainability and transitions, we recognize leaders should be well versed in policy, reporting standards, latest technologies, etc. to be able to effectively make decisions and lead change. When it makes sense, we will hold these conversations from the perspective of leading and changemaking.
No, memberships are intended for individual use. If you or your organization would like to purchase 3 or more memberships please contact us for a group rate.
For ASI, leadership is everywhere. Regardless of your role or position, everyone can influence change. To us, Transition Leadership means using your sphere of influence to shift an organization’s perspective and motivate those around you to rethink what leadership looks like in the face of the climate crisis.
Transition Leaders help others see the value and significance of contributing to a just and sustainable world for all.
