Change Agents: This Is What Community Looks Like

A panel discussion with leaders of advocacy communities who embody the UN-Bruntland definition of sustainability: “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” We will hear from founders of Built Environment Plus, SE 2050, and GenUnity about the how and why behind the process of making change. These communities aim to achieve the triple bottom line of people, planet, and prosperity.
