Click on the image above to see a slideshow from the first day of the Citizens’ Summit for Sustainable Development.

Day 1 of the Summit brought us an inspiring and fast-paced series of presentations, conversations, and discussions. From panels with high-level speakers to highly interactive breakout sessions, participants spent time collaborating on progress made and defining the work left to be done. With Rio +20 only a few months away, Canadian and American citizens and leaders are growing ever more energized to push for action and for the future we need. Look out for more photos and blog posts from Day 2 tomorrow.
