Join us for our first in-person event!

Our inaugural Research Day project showcase and students awards ceremony is August 17, 11am to 2:30pm.

We are excited to welcome Graham Takata, Director of Climate Change, Responsible Investment, BMO Global Asset Management, to begin the day with a keynote address. Our student researchers and scholarship recipients will also be taking to the stage to showcase their multi-disciplinary research projects. You can expect to see and hear insights on how sustainability intersects with engineering, social sciences, politics, architecture, and even biochemistry.

Climate Positive Energy has integrated into the Lawson Climate Institute.

Integration of the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) into the Lawson Climate Institute (LCI) represents a strategic evolution that amplifies University of Toronto’s collective impact on climate solutions. CPE's established expertise in sustainable energy research and innovation becomes a cornerstone of the Lawson Climate Institute's comprehensive mandate to address the climate crisis through technology, policy, and education.

Existing and ongoing grants, research projects, partnerships, and other activity under Climate Positive Energy will continue uninterrupted and will transition to operate under the Lawson Climate Institute brand in the coming months.
