Abstract: Most of the times, when it comes to the environmental issue, we have the tendency to focus on nature. Many of us have done so, by getting involved in many debates, legislative processes and campaigns. But the problem remains, in the sense that the challenges we are facing today can no longer be solved by targeted interventions and legislative fine-tuning. What we need is a profound cultural shift, a major change in the culturally-accepted behaviors and habits. We will tackle this subject together and we will see, among other things, how the culture of an organization and of the society itself are being formed and changed, how do our behaviors appear and what are the group tendencies when faced with changes.
Csibi Magor is an environmental activist, sustainability consultant and currently leads the Leadership department at Trend Consult, with the mission to change the culture in as many organizations and societies as possible. Between 2017-2018 he was the executive director of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) office, the largest nature conservation organization in the world, in South Korea, after having led the office in Romania for 7 years. From 2007 to 2009, he was Vice-Chair of the European Parliament's Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. After completing his term, he devoted himself entirely to environmental sustainability activities and taught at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj. In 2009 he founded the publication "Think Outside the Box", which he coordinated in the first two years.
