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.

To support the mandate of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body related to research, this project was undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada. Funding was provided through the Environmental Damages Funds’ Climate Action and Awareness Fund, administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
