Description

Canada is on an ambitious journey to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which is already having an impact here in Atlantic Canada. Managing this transformation while leveraging our traditional energy assets is critical to supporting the COVID-19 economic recovery process. APEC and the Atlantica Centre for Energy are co-hosting a three-part webinar series that will explore Atlantic Canada’s energy future.
