This will be a 90-minute Zoom session with introductions, brainstorming, and discussions. This is an opportunity for SocSES members based in Canada and the USA to start getting to know each other and figuring out what they want the Northern American Hub to do for them. No preparation needed.

The aim of the SocSES regional hubs is to connect people working in particular regions, supporting place-based work and learning within specific contexts. The regional hubs help amplify local voices and link contextual regional expertise to global sustainability efforts. They foster innovative, context-sensitive solutions by integrating diverse knowledge systems and bridging global and local perspectives. To date, six regional hubs have been set up: Asia, Northern America (Canada & USA), Europe, Latin America, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Oceania, and Southern Africa.
