Developing Canadian Youth as Leaders and Stewards of the Environment

"Young environmental leaders have been defined as those young people who “demonstrate four characteristics: (1) positive attitudes to the environment, (2) positive environmental behaviour, (3) initiative or leadership activity and (4) involvement in multiple spheres of action” (Riemer et al., 2013, p. 9). Across the field of leadership development there is agreement that action is the end goal. This can be viewed in contrast to education, for example where knowledge is end goal (Stauch & Cornelisse, 2016). "
