Panel Organized by: SFU

Communities in Canada and globally are key sources of emissions and are also needing support
as they confront the impacts and costs of climate change. Reducing climate risk (adaptation)
and rapidly decarbonizing (mitigation) are crucial for all decisions and policies to advance
community resilience and sustainability goals. Evidence-based, multi-solving approaches are
vital for transformative action, and will require interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and
inclusive collaboration. Learn about cross-cutting climate action research, that co-develops
real-world solutions with community partners on the frontlines of climate change. Panelists
will discuss advances in low carbon resilience planning and implementation, clean energy
innovation, and sustainability transition pathways.
