Recorded on Zoom in mid-August 2021, episode 43 is the seventh in a series of podcasts seeking to unpack Canada’s Net Zero 2050 greenhouse gas target. For this episode, Tonja Leach, Executive Director of QUEST, discusses the importance of community level engagement, potential net zero barriers due to regulatory constructs and policy environments, and the importance of spurring investment at the community level for GHG reductions. As with previous podcasts, we wrap up the conversation with some book banter.
