Session 3: Pathways to Net-Zero: an Economic Opportunity & Climate Imperative
Oct 2, 2025 — 08:15 pm - 9:30 PM
Room 1
As regions across Canada and globally grapple with the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the challenge lies in setting ambitious climate targets, and in implementing practical, sector-specific pathways to reach them. In New Brunswick, emissions have declined in recent years, yet electricity, oil and gas, and transportation remain major sources. At the same time, the clean energy sector presents a momentous economic opportunity for regions right across the OECD, New Brunswick chief among them. This session will offer insights on how regions are pursuing decarbonisation strategies, from greening energy sources to diversifying their economies and how these can be linked to sustainable economic development.
