Create high-impact clean energy solutions
The Climate Positive Energy Initiative unites world-leading scholars with industry, community and government to develop tools that can prevent the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.
Amid the rising threat of global warming, governments, corporations, and individuals around the world are taking collective action to fight climate change. Clean energy technologies and policies are critical to making a difference, given that 78 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions result from the production and consumption of energy. But to transform societies around the world, clean energy solutions must be just and equitable.
Climate change presents a challenge of incredible breadth—and a tight deadline. Universities have the diversity of expertise with which to lead and respond. The Climate Positive Energy initiative levers U of T’s intellectual strength to reimagine energy systems, and support Canada and the world in a just climate-positive energy transition.
