‘An everybody problem’: David Sinton on how U of T experts can help Canada — and the world — get to net-zero
Canada has formally committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 — and since 78% of greenhouse gas emissions globally are related to energy, finding cleaner sources is a big part of the puzzle. Researchers at the University of Toronto have responded to this challenge by forming a new research network: the Climate Positive […]
