The Path to Urban Net Zero (w/ Jeanette Jackson, CEO of Foresight)

In June of 2021, Canada - along with the other G7 countries - committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. It is an audacious goal, one that affords Canada with an opportunity to play a leadership role and become the first of the G7 to reach net-zero emissions.
It’s a long way from where we are at the moment. Currently, says Janette Jackson of Foresight, “we’re in last place, which accelerates our need to step up the pace and position Canada as a force of nature on the path to net zero.” Over the past decade, Foresight has worked relentlessly toward making net-zero a reality.
Foresight has a 10-point approach to accelerate research and development in clean tech, build regional clusters and host events. Jackson says, “We’re creating the ecosystem that fosters investment in world leading companies that are serving a social purpose, that being achieving net zero by virtue of the products and services they produce and provide.”
On February 6, Foresight is hosting “CityAge Vancouver: The Urban Zero Challenge.” We invited Jeanette Jackson to join us for Conversation That Matters about the opportunities and challenges ahead for us on our path to greenhouse gas reduction.

I find it very interesting that any public discussion that questions the supposed benefits of decarbonization is heavily censored. There currently exists considerable evidence to suggest that there is little to no correlation between global warming and atmospheric CO2 levels but this evidence is either refuted or suppressed by those who are compensated to push the ‘man made’ global warming narrative.
