Our Work<\/h2>\n

At its core, this is a project focused on connecting youth with educational and hands-on experiences for a net-zero now<\/strong>. More than anyone, youth feel the urgency and anxiety of the climate crisis. Empty promises of a \u2018net-zero future\u2019 are far removed from their lives. That’s why our programs focus on supporting students with resources and tools\u2014so they can be the leaders and changemakers of a great transformation, starting in their own schools and communities.<\/p>\n

Our Funders<\/h2>\n

This project was undertaken with the financial support of Environment and Climate Change Canada via the <\/span>Net-Zero Engagement Fund. This was a funding opportunity made available by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to respond to the Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB)\u2019s mandate related to engagement. It aims to support initiatives and projects that build awareness, dialogue, and capacity on net-zero, with an initial focus on youth and\/or families.<\/p>\n

Our Team<\/h2>\n

N:OW for Net-Zero \/ FES staff are all youth (aged 30 and under) and act as a support system for the youth-led climate and net-zero movement in Canada. Collectively, these team members manage all services operating under N:OW for Net-Zero. <\/span><\/p>\n

N:OW for Net-Zero wouldn’t be where it is today without the foundational leadership of Jessica Leblanc and Sophia Lindfield, who expertly guided the project through its pilot years. As we continue to build upon their legacy, we remain deeply grateful for their invaluable contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n
