  1. SFU Symposium: Community-Centered Climate Innovation: the role of local to global climate innovation research

    Thursday, November 07 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM

    Speaker(s)


    Climate change is one of the most pressing and complex global challenges facing our world and communities today—one that requires academics, researchers, and community members across the street and across the world to collaborate, share knowledge and build on each other’s strengths. Universities can play a leading role in the transformational change required.At this symposium, diverse scholars, industry partners and community leaders will share, discuss and explore:

    • How mobilizing research can mitigate GHG emissions and catalyze clean energy transitions
    • Nature-based solutions for adaptation to climate change and low carbon resiliency strategies for communities
    • Climate innovation and energy system transformation in support of meeting Canada’s 2050 net zero targets

  1. Romanowski Breakfast Lecture - iMACCS: Innovative Materials for Carbon Capture and Sequestration - Presented by Prof. Abdelhamid Sayari

    Friday, November 08 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM

    Speaker(s)


    This annual lecture features a discussion of some of the greatest challenges facing the environment, and research that is contributing to addressing these challenges. This year's lecture is being presented by the RSC's 2023 Romanowski Award Winner,Abdelhamid Sayari.Professor Sayari is one of Canada’s most cited chemists for his pioneering work on porous materials and their environmental applications. He is internationally recognized for the discovery and development of recyclable materials for carbon capture with unparalleled efficiency. Thanks to the high selectivity and low regeneration energy of Sayari’s proprietary materials, his invention is poised to become the leading technology for CO2 capture with direct implications on greenhouse gas effect and global warming.

  1. Open Access to Research Results: The (R)evolution With Implications For Us All | Presented by Erudit

    Friday, November 08 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM



    In 2025, Canada will adopt a new open access policy, to be implemented by its three federal funding agencies. This development will mark a major turning point for academic publishing, both nationally and internationally.

    What immediate and long term impacts will these upheavals have on Canadian researchers? And how can stakeholders take action to encourage more equitable and sustainable open access?

    Experts from the field will share their insights and discuss with participants at this bilingual meeting, offering a thorough reflection on the risks and opportunities of this (r)evolution.

  2. Sparking a New Narrative: The Future of Climate and Wildfire | Presented by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS)

    Friday, November 08 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM

    Speaker(s)


    Across the globe, climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme wildfires and release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere: “the warming is feeding the warming”. In 2023, Canada experienced the worst wildfire season in recorded history, 15 million hectares burned, millions were affected by wildfire smoke, thousands were displaced, many people lost their homes, and ecosystems already under threat were disrupted.

    British Columbia is on the frontlines of this fire story, it is a living lab where the challenges and solutions are being confronted, and researchers, practitioners, and communities are coming together to ask: how do we co-exist with wildfire? Transdisciplinary research, collaboration across Western and Indigenous knowledges, and commitment to decolonial landscape management practices are key.

    The Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) – a research network comprising Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of Northern British Columbia, and University of Victoria – has been funding and coordinating wildfire research regionally and internationally for many years. This session will bring leading researchers and practitioners together in conversation to share their insights and reflections. This interactive dialogue will focus on the importance of ‘good fire’ on the landscape and the shifts in perspective, policy, and planning that is required to create a new narrative that allows us to collectively navigate risk, recovery, and the future of climate and wildfire.
