Sustainable Innovation
Sustainable Innovation: Integrating Circular Economy and Biomimicry into Climate Action
This course is uniquely structured for learners to engage in experiential, impact-focused education. As part of the course, you will contribute to the carbon uptake of the Canadore forest through strategic planning, planting and monitoring of the lands.
Carbon Sequestration
& Nature-Based Solutions
Carbon Sequestration & Nature-Based Solutions
Understanding carbon measurement in a forest, voluntary and regulated carbon markets, and how nature-based carbon offsets are developed is integral to supporting a net-zero strategy for any organization. You will plant a section of the Long Point Eco-Adventures forest based on a sustainable forestry plan with features that add to the carbon uptake at the site.
