On the Road to Net Zero: Global Lessons from Place-based Skills Development

Preparing for a low carbon future brings both challenges and opportunities. Success depends on minimizing disruption and cultivating the green skills that will drive Canada’s prosperity.  

Drawing from new research with the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) , this webinar explores what global examples can teach us about building local green skills and resilience, supporting workers, and ensuring that the transition is both effective and inclusive.

Join experts and authors of the Learning from Place-Based Approaches on the Road to Net Zero report for a focused discussion on how place-based strategies from around the world are helping communities prepare for change, create new opportunities, and strengthen local resilience.

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is open to anyone working to advance inclusive and resilient workforce development across Canada. Whether you’re a policymaker, educator, industry leader, or community partner, this webinar offers valuable perspectives to help drive systemic change.

Right after the webinar we are hosting a Peer Learning Group (PLG) in collaboration with Research Impact Canada to provide a space for deeper, informal dialogue.
