Rising energy costs, poor energy efficiency in buildings, and a changing climate are having profound impacts on Canadians’ health and safety, along with our economy. We’re kicking off the conference by looking at the big picture related to Canada’s climate targets that will help to literally build resiliency into our future. We will hear about the targets and the associated plans, policies, and programs being put in place by the federal government to help drive progress toward the goal of net-zero by 2050. These changes will have lasting impacts on the spaces where we live, work, and play in cities and rural communities across Canada. Find out more about the critical roles that industry partners can play as we work to decarbonize and enhance the resilience of buildings in Canada.
