Building a Sustainable Future: Human Capital Strategies for Sustainable Growth
July 18, 2024 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
There has been exponential growth in the energy sector and significant investment to support Nova Scotians with Energy Efficiency upgrades and the transition away from home heating oil. The role of Human Capital Strategies to ensure Sustainable Growth has never been more critical. Atlantic Canada requires a unique response to meet current climate goals, with a large land mass and low population density in many areas, this webinar will demonstrate the need for continued investment to build for the long term.

Webinar Series
Partnered Research for Knowledge Mobilization
May 23, 2024 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
One of the most organic ways for academic researchers to engage in knowledge mobilization is to partner with relevant stakeholders from the beginning of a project. Partner organizations who are given the opportunity to set research priorities and genuinely contribute to research design become natural "audiences" for that research, which is more likely to be relevant and influential due to the partnership approach.
Webinar Series
Pro-Climate Behaviours in Atlantic Canada: Interim Update
May 16, 2024 1:00pm – 2:30pm ADT
Achieving net-zero emissions requires not only technological advancements but also significant changes in human behaviours. We all have attitudes, values, and beliefs defining how we respond to a crisis. By incorporating a behavioural science lens to the work required to reach our targets, we can aim to ensure that the climate change mitigation solutions proposed are technically feasible, socially acceptable, and economically viable.
Workshop
Geothermal Energy in Your Community: Information Session in New Glasgow
May 2, 2024 7:00pm – 8:00pm ADT
Some counties in Nova Scotia have potential for local, sustainable energy production through mid-depth geothermal energy development. To help communities deepen their understanding of the potential, Net Zero Atlantic has partnered with community leads to co-create and deliver information on geothermal energy opportunities, in general and locally, with the aim of creating a roadmap for local energy development.
Join Bridget Taylor, the community lead in Pictou County for Net Zero Atlantic's project to build project development capacity. You will learn the following:
