The third Solutions Agenda conversation, exploring the role of multi-functional spaces in communities, is now available from the website.

The Network for Business Sustainability (NBS) has just released an article, entitled Climate Change Innovation: 5 Recommendations.

The Sustainability Solutions Group, partners of CRC Research, recently conducted a community planning engagement process with the District of Summerland that includes the voices of the Summerland youth. Working with youth from Summerland Middle School, Girl Guides, SADI (Summerland Asset Development Initiative) Youth Group and Giant’s Head Elementary, ten animations were produced that capture the younger generation's perspectives on future development in Summerland and related issues in this community.

Created through a partnership between CRC Research and students of Royal Roads University's Professional Communications program, this new HEAD Talks video release explores what contributes to a 'sense of place'.

YouthfulCities is a global social initiative working to rank the world's top cities from a youth (age 16 to 29) perspective. The project has involved over 1500 youth participants from around the world, and is currently developing a YouthfulCitiesINDEX, i.e., an index that ranks cities from the youth perspective, which is scheduled to be launched in October 2013.
