On Wednesday, October 20th, a committed and enthusiastic group of 30-plus students and young professionals gathered in Toronto for a unique opportunity to engage in a dialogue about sustainability with The Natural Step’s Founder Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt.  The event was a Leadership Cafe in which participants heard from Dr. Robèrt on the challenges of the leadership in the current system and then discussed using the question: how can young people act most strategically toward sustainability across all sectors?  

Themes of collaboration, cooperation, starting 'where you are at' including changing one's own personal behavior and acting in their own sphere of influence were predominant.  This was a very empowered, active group of young people who were passionate about changing the world and are continuing their search for the tools and experiences to get there.

The event was generously co-hosted by our partners Corporate Knights Magazine and AIESEC Canada and sponsored through funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
