Now for Net Zero
There is no better time than right N:OW to build a climate-resilient Canada
Empowering students and educators with the resources they need to explore and implement meaningful climate action in pursuit of net-zero.
Curriculum linked lesson plans and resources on net-zero climate solutions for Canadian, grades 7-12 classrooms.
Grants to help schools implement a net-zero project that will reduce emissions in their community. Available grants anywhere between $2,500 - $15,000.
Practical examples of net-zero climate solutions implemented by students and educators in schools and local communities.
Why Net-Zero?
The ways we produce and use energy largely affects our health and the health of our planet. Reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) is extremely important for our ability to live healthy lives on this planet, not just in the future, but right N:OW.
Simply put, net-zero means reducing the amount of human-related emissions we produce to as low as possible, and balancing the remaining emissions that we can’t reduce by removing them.
We cannot emphasize the first part enough. The priority needs to be on adapting the ways we live and working to reduce as many emissions as possible.
There are so many different ways we can reduce and remove GHGs and these are the important “green-skills” that we want Canadian students to understand and experience. It’s important to empower students with these skills so that they can be responsible energy consumers and leaders in the transition to a climate resilient society, economy, and planet that needs to happen N:OW.
Explore our programs and resources to find easy ways to integrate this learning into your classrooms, and support student climate action in your school.
Mobilizing Action
We are looking to fund youth-led net-zero projects that reduce GHG emissions and/or improve climate and net-zero literacy in Canadian schools and their broader communities.
