Our Upcoming In-Community Engagement
This March and April, we will be travelling to each of our five Local Futures partner communities to run workshops with community stakeholders and municipal leadership. We are excited to ground our Local Futures work in conversations in communities across the country.
Our Focus on Collective Impact
The Sustainable Development Goals are a collective impact framework. They embody a “whole of society approach” and explore how each of the issues represented by the 17 SDGs are closely interconnected with each other. The great opportunity of the SDGs is to help guide governments, businesses, academia, and community organizations towards creating aligned and mutually reinforcing actions that harness the depth and breadth of expertise to tackle global challenges.
