To fulfill Canada’s commitment to a just transition for tackling climate change, we must make unified and balanced decisions regarding food system management. Over the next year, Olivia will support this mission through continuing her community-engaged, multidisciplinary research, which will include an audit of clean energy agricultural technologies in Canada and two participatory design workshops: one with migrant farmworkers and the other relevant stakeholders, resulting in policy and design recommendations for a just transition.
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.
