Becoming a renewable energy society

Our climate crisis is often considered a scientific or technical problem, but IC3 member, Imre Szeman, argues that it's fundamentally a cultural one.

Congratulations to Monica Emelko, an IC3 member and professor of civil and environmental engineering, who has been awarded more than $3.5 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) through its Innovation Fund. This funding will help analyze threats to the quality of drinking water and year-round access to, and instrumentation for, watershed observatories.

In January 2021, IC3 partnered with UWaterloo's Concept and Problem Lab to launch the Climate Innovation Discovery Stream. Throughout the 3 week program, students from across campus spent their time researching climate change related problems and developing potential innovative solutions.
