An opportunity to grow the economy in new and diverse ways
The consequences of global emissions have unbalanced Canada’s ecosystems. As the second-largest land mass in the world, Canada is home to a rich tapestry of life spread across vast boreal forests, rugged Arctic landscapes, and boundless lakes and prairies. These vast natural resources provide Canadian leaders with a unique opportunity: to make fair contributions in reducing global emissions, while creating value and competitive advantages. As a result, Canada will be able to thrive in new and diverse ways.

Net-zero by 2050:
an achievable target
Along with a growing list of countries, Canada has pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This means reducing the greenhouse gases (GHGs) we produce with alongside implementing both proven and emerging technologies to facilitate a rapid transition to low carbon energy systems, intelligent land use, and adoption of nature-based solutions.The window is slowly closing. It’s likely our last chance to limit global warming to within 1.5°C by the end of the century and seize one of humanity’s greatest opportunities.
Learn what a net-zero-emissions future for Canada could look like, why the energy transition is imperative, and how energy innovations could lead to new business opportunities for your organization.
Together, we could create a more resilient and sustainable future for your organization and the environment.
