From 16-20 May 2012, LEAD Brazil delivered a workshop entitled 'Collaboration and Innovation for the Climate Agenda: Dialogues between Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Sao Paulo'.

Last month LEAD travelled to Rio to celebrate our 20th anniversary, share our learning on leadership for sustainable development, and discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by today's sustainability leaders. The Rio+20 Conference and its associated side and fringe events gave us the opportunity to introduce the LEAD way of learning to a brand new audience and inspire many more people to take action on sustainability challenges.
LEAD Europe Fellow Nick Harrison and his colleagues at Ecofys have just published an article in the journal Nature Climate Change, which sets forth an ambitious approach for tackling climate change through 21 major initiatives. These would collectively would be enough to 'wedge' the global greenhouse gas emissions gap by 2020.
LEAD International has appointed Williams Johnson as Chief Executive with effect from 1st August 2012.
