The Proposed New England - Maritimes Offshore Energy Corridor

May 11, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT

A coalition of seven developers of offshore wind, green hydrogen, and transmission solutions has formed to investigate the New England – Maritimes Offshore Energy Corridor (NEMOEC), a proposed offshore transmission corridor that would support regional decarbonization goals and reliability.

Webinar Series

Nature-based solutions and climate: How to implement through the Global Standard

April 20, 2023 10:00am – 11:00am ADT

Interest around nature-based solutions (NbS) is growing in government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) published the Global Standard for NbS in 2020 and, since then, the concept has become more effectively integrated with climate change adaptation and mitigation. But there are still challenges when it comes to understanding what really is – and what is not – an NbS, and how best to support sustainable implementation.

Webinar Series

Small Reactors, Big Opportunities

March 23, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT

Since 2018, New Brunswick has been making progress towards the development and deployment of advanced small modular reactors – the next generation of nuclear technology. Development of these innovative clean energy technologies represents a significant opportunity to help New Brunswick, Canada, and other countries around the world reduce carbon emissions. In this webinar, representatives from NB Power, ARC Clean Technology, and Moltex Energy will provide an overview of advanced small modular reactor development activities.

Webinar Series

Applying Behavioural Science to Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

March 14, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT

Behaviour change is an integral component of any successful climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. As such, behavioural science can provide a valuable tool in the efforts to increase climate change mitigation and adaptation activities. It can help us to understand the psychological barriers to climate change action. This session will provide an introduction to behavioural science and its potential applications to support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Webinar Series

Working with Indigenous Communities to achieve Net Zero

February 28, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm AST

As governments and corporations in Canada and around the world adopt policies and implement targets to support the move to a net zero economy, many may not fully appreciate the essential role that Indigenous communities have in helping achieve these goals.  Meaningful progress requires engagement and partnerships with Indigenous communities, especially with a growing number of clean energy projects intersecting traditional Indigenous territories.  Encompassing the perspective and participation of Indigenous partners supports a successful transition towards net zero.

Webinar Series

It’s time to address the carbon elephant in the room

January 26, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm AST

A short primer regarding embodied carbon in buildings covering everything from what is it, how do we measure it, design guidance, existing government policies and building certifications aimed at lowering embodied carbon and its relevance with respect to climate change.

Webinar Series

Value-mapping the offshore wind resource of Nova Scotia

January 19, 2023 11:00am – 12:00pm AST

In this webinar, experts from global offshore wind intelligence firm Aegir Insights will discuss methodologies and results for economic mapping of Nova Scotia's offshore wind resources. The results will be further qualified and discussed through comparison with the global offshore wind market and perspectives, including offtake options, constraints, and other unique features of Nova Scotia.
