About this Course
With more than 60 other countries, Canada has committed to reach net zero by 2050. However, there remains a limited understanding of the nature of the net zero challenge and how to formulate a strategic response. For instance, what is the scope and magnitude of change entailed by net zero? How can this change be systematized and accelerated?
Which actions and approaches give us the best chance of achieving a desirable net-zero future? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed in The Transition Accelerator’s condensed course Net Zero Changes Everything: A Strategic Approach.
This course is for you if:
- You are a leader working to advance net zero goals in government, industry or civil society
- Implementing net zero pathways & system change is of interest to you and your organization
- You are experienced in energy transition challenges and are interested in learning more about accelerated transitions
