Limiting Global Warming to 1.5 degrees: What Does it Take & is it Worth it?
October 17, 2018 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Under the Paris Agreement 195 nations set a goal to limit an increase in the world's average temperature to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius, while pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. They invited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to assess the impacts of greenhouse gas emission pathways consistent with a global warming of 1.5 degrees. The report was released in early October.
Bioenergy: Opportunities and challenges of harnessing waste to reduce GHGs
October 11, 2018 - 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Is bioenergy a sustainable pathway toward a low-carbon future in BC and beyond?
The Government of British Columbia has committed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80 per cent below 2007 levels by 2050. While bioenergy as a renewable energy source can play a role in achieving these reductions, questions remain over how to best harness waste to generate energy and help achieve BC’s emissions reduction target.
