About this listen

 The global fight against climate change has become a collective race against the clock. To keep the average temperature from rising by more than 1.5°C — the mark noted by nations the world over as the one we need to hit to fulfill the promise we’ve made to future generations — we need collective action from every corner of society.

Our forests have a critical role to play in that fight, and Canada’s in particular stand as a
potential game-changer when it comes to growing a greener economy and combatting climate change. But how we manage them matters.

In this podcast we’ll explore what’s happening in Canada’s forests and why they represent so much untapped potential. We’ll talk to the experts who are leading the charge in efforts to advance sustainability in the forestry sector and the innovators who are using this renewable resource to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and build more sustainable communities.

We’ll explore the misconceptions that have complicated the narrative around Canada’s forestry sector and whether sustainably sourced wood products can be Canada’s ultimate contribution to the climate crisis.

Join us as we answer the question: Can Canada’s forests really save the world?

    The Forest Products You’ve Never Heard Of
    Apr 10 2024
    This season on Canadian Forestry Can Save The World, we went deep on the different types of innovation and technology shaping the future of Canada’s forest sector. From carbon capture and storage to wildfire mitigation, we’ve heard how our forests and the people managing them are providing the economic and climate solutions to help us face some of our most pressing challenges. In the final episode of season two, we round out the season by sharing some of the more surprising ways wood is being used to develop innovative products, benefit mental and physical health, and provide an alternative to fossil fuels. You might even say some of these projects are out of this world…

    We’re Getting There, But Not Quickly Enough
    Mar 28 2024
    Earlier in Season 2 we spoke to Jamie Stephen of Torchlight Bioresources about the role of forest management in helping reduce wildfire risk and emissions from wildfires. In this episode, we revisit that conversation and ask the question, how does Canada compare globally and what more can be done? Jamie Stephen considers how changes to government policy can allow Canada to better harness the power of our forests to reduce emissions through carbon capture and storage and bioenergy.
