One of this year’s standout events was the December 10 NMC Leadership Panel – Navigating Senior-Level Expectations. Senior leaders from diverse backgrounds shared candid, practical insights on a topic you identified as a top leadership development priority in our June Monthly Check-In. The session sparked engaging discussions and valuable takeaways!

Leading Change: Embedding Nature and Climate into Decision-Making
Managers play a vital role in shaping how teams respond to today’s environmental challenges. ECCC is pleased to announce Halting and Reversing Biodiversity Loss in Canada (CHC112) — a new Canada School of Public Service course designed to help public service leaders understand biodiversity’s importance, its links to climate change, and how to embed nature considerations into federal decision-making.
This course complements the refreshed suite of Climate Literacy courses, together contributing to a climate- and nature-aware public service. We encourage managers to register, champion, and share these opportunities. For details or support, contact the SEEA Secretariat at eeesformation-seeatraining@ec.gc.ca.
