With 182 companies in Canada having committed to net-zero by 2050 – the list of companies looking to the supply chains and solution providers to implement net-zero action continue to grow. Delve into the strategies and measurement tools essential for achieving net-zero carbon targets that could create opportunity in your career to support these initiatives across the country. Explore case studies and the role of carbon sequestration in net-zero strategies.

Nature-based solutions represent the vast majority of carbon sequestration projects globally (nearly 70% of all voluntary carbon credits). Explore the vital role of nature-based solutions in carbon sequestration, discovering how techniques like afforestation and reforestation contribute to mitigating climate change.

Be part of the solution. The cohort will be responsible for design and planting a small portion of the sustainable forest at LPEA. Learn how the Miyawaki technique can contribute to concentrates carbon uptake and how this can be translated to other urban and suburban application on private or public land to enhance carbon sequestration.

Explore the dynamic world of carbon markets and credits, including the nuances of the regulatory and voluntary markets as businesses and jurisdiction look to tangible offsets to deliver on net-zero commitments. Understand the criteria required to meet various application of carbon credits in net-zero strategies and how it applies at a provincial, national, and international level.
