The online business forum, titled Let’s Talk About Our Low Carbon Future, will take place Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The event is being hosted by Green Economy North, a program of reThink Green.
“Panelists and presenters will discuss carbon mitigation, Ontario success stories along with best practices that have led to growth and stability in a low-carbon economy,” the organization said in a release.
“The transition to a low-carbon economy is well underway,”said Simon Blakeley, program director for Green Economy North. “As fuel costs rise, and the costs to operate continue to grow, reducing our carbon impact, and thus reducing costs is the only practical model going forward.”
The event will highlight speakers from across Ontario, including representatives from Green Economy Canada, a cross-Canada carbon reduction organization that has led over 300 businesses and reduced a collective 200,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases since their program began.
“As world leaders come together at COP 26 to make commitments to reduce global greenhouse gasses, we are excited to showcase businesses proving that a sustainable economy is possible right here in Northern Ontario,” said Rebecca Danard, executive director at reThink Green. “This is an opportunity to discover innovative, practical solutions and connect with other businesses growing the local low-carbon economy.”
The Green Economy North Regional Business Forum is free of charge for participants. Event registration is open until Wednesday at 5 p.m.
