This webinar will offer an overview of emissions and removals from the Canadian land sector, as reported to the United Nations under the Paris Agreement, with a focus on the Maritimes. Furthermore, it will provide an overview of the methodologies employed for the land sector in Canada’s international greenhouse gas reporting and will describe the scientific and data-related challenges in accurately capturing the full extent of Nature-Based Climate Solutions (NBCS).
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.
