This summer, Canadians faced lethal heat waves and unprecedented forest fires. The race is on to 2030, the year that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified as our deadline to cut emissions and avoid climate catastrophe. No one can shake the feeling that we have to act, and quickly.
From Canada’s National Observer comes Race Against Climate Change, a six-part podcast that will move you from climate paralysis to inspired action.
Meet the people facing the climate crisis head on, who are moving us towards transformation in record time. Dig into the critical conversations we need to be having right now, and learn what we can do over the next nine years, if we choose to act quickly.
Listen along to demystify our transition to net-zero, and be part of the solution.
