This year marks a special milestone – the Master of Climate Change (MCC) program’s 10-year anniversary! On June 1, join us to celebrate 10 years of impact with a panel discussion: "Bridging the climate talent gap in Canada".
The climate crisis is a defining challenge of our time, one that requires a whole-of-society response. Multiple international studies demonstrate that climate change will have profound impacts on job markets and that every job will have a climate component in the coming decades.. Join us to discuss how universities can work with governments and business to bridge the climate talent gap and accelerate progress toward a net-zero and climate resilient Canada.
