ON REIMAGINING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT:
“I have been appointed to leadership roles and have chaired organizations that are focused on realizing zero carbon goals by or before 2040. I am the founding chair of the Climate Innovation Fund of Alberta Ecotrust, and also a past chair of the Energy Transition and Climate Resilience Committee for the City of Edmonton. I am driving industry leadership for a zero carbon world.”
ON A FUTURE THEY WANT TO LIVE IN:
“Being in Alberta, we have seen forest fires, floods, and extreme weather events on our doorstep. I want to live in a future where we can be climate resilient and future-proof our world, so my son will not be a climate disaster refugee. I demand a better world and will fight for a better future.”
