The Ontario Chamber of Commerce's purpose is all about creating inclusive, sustainable prosperity - and that made our second annual Smart Growth Symposium as meaningful as it was impactful. With our partners at Climate Positive Energy at the University of Toronto, we convened a day of dialogue between sustainability leaders from the worlds of business, government and academia. It's easy to be pessimistic: the devastating, unabated impacts of climate change grow more dire every year, and recent public discourse has often presented a false choice between affordability and sustainability. But the symposium reminded us how much progress is going on: Ontario's historic investments in clean energy and electrifying the economy; a convergence of climate disclosure standards, driven by investor demand and investment opportunity; and a relentless torrent of innovations in smart grids, smart transportation, green building, sustainable finance, the circular economy, and carbon capture, storage and removal. The day was a potent reminder of the power of collaboration, the importance of innovation and ambition, and the imperative of inclusive growth. That's why the Smart Growth Symposium will return in 2025 - and its outputs will influence both our policy work and our advocacy. #SGS2024 #climate #sustainability #business #energy #ontario #chamberofcommerce
