Locally-Driven Innovation, Framed by Global Priorities

Canadian members have taken advantage of the opportunities provided by Catalyst Now to initiate the R.E.S.E.T Communities Network (Resilient Ecosystems for Sustainable Engagement and Transformation). RESET promotes whole community or ecosystem approaches that use the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a broader compass for addressing complex local issues and opportunities.

This cross-sectoral, regenerative, community-driven approach strengthens social, economic, and environmental well-being by leveraging a community’s collective wisdom, leadership, and assets.
Central to the work are local “System Catalysts”—neutral conveners who bridge sectors and bring together social purpose organizations, businesses, governments, and residents. Through coaching and support, local leaders help communities harness their leadership for lasting impact.
