LOCATION: Macdonald Engineering Building Rm: 497
Join TISED as we host Dr. Hoicka for a thought-provoking seminar on the $100 trillion global transition to renewable energy.
Discover whether this shift will enhance well-being or exacerbate inequalities, and how place-based approaches can ensure local context and justice remain central to the transition. Dr. Hoicka will share real-world examples, including First Nations' efforts to control BC's grid, cities transitioning to renewable energy, and the rise of community-based energy clusters.
Don’t miss this insightful discussion on the future of energy and its impact on communities!
