Catalyst 2030 Local Chapter Initiatives

Catalysing Change Week allows participants to tap into the collective wisdom around systems change while forging partnerships across countries, regions and sectors.

Catalyst 2030 Local Chapters will initiate, lead and coordinate events and activities in their countries. However, only Catalyst 2030 members and Catalyst 2030 Awards finalists can host Catalyst 2030 Global Online Sessions. All sessions will be co-created with the membership and mostly organised by the hosts, with the help of the Secretariat.
