To give ourselves a chance at avoiding the worst effects, we need solutions to counteract current excess emissions and to compensate for future emissions. These solutions can be found in negative emission technologies (NETs), and there is no pathway that will get us to where we need to be without them.

Climate change is a threat to all life on Earth and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the culprit. While governments have taken steps to mitigate the damage by cutting carbon emissions — and to adapt to unavoidable climate conditions — it will take further effort to head off the danger.

This report highlights the key linkages between climate crisis, mental health, community resilience, and wellbeing. It aims to identify guiding principles that support mental health amid the climate crisis.

Most fleets in British Columbia are comprised of fewer than 50 vehicles. A bulk-buy program can accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in small- to medium-sized fleets.

What if we could capture waste energy in a mobile thermal battery and use it to power district energy networks, potentially displacing the burning of fossil fuels and their associated emissions?

A global transition to a net-zero, low-carbon economy is underway, and Canada needs a more coordinated and strategic approach for positioning its industries in the value chains of the 21st century green economy.

The impacts of climate change on the quality of human life, and the strain it will put on human and ecological systems are likely to be even greater than those of a single infectious disease like COVID-19.
