About the Event

The symposium will provide a forum for advancing research and action on climate change by bringing together business, government and academia. The symposium will bring climate related research to the fore in such a way that it can be applied to building more resilient communities, infrastructure and ecosystems.

• Learn what research is currently underway in the province of Ontario and the role it will play in shaping policy and decision making for years to come;
• Hear directly from researchers and practitioners responding to the challenges of climate change in a diverse array of sectors; and,
