Digital governance regulation can be complex and challenging to navigate, necessitating organizations to design and implement structural responses to this complexity as a top strategic priority. Digital governance aims to ensure technology and data are used ethically and safely while also serving the public good. It helps manage risks related to cybersecurity, compliance, and reputational…

Community engagement refers to the collaborative work undertaken in partnership with communities to develop and implement long-term, sustainable solutions. It involves two-way dialogue, empowering communities, gathering feedback on outcomes and evaluating results. Keep in mind that community needs and dynamics may evolve over time, necessitating organizations to be adaptable and flexible in their operations. 1.…

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology captures climate-warming emissions from power plants or other sources and stores them underground permanently, contributing significantly to reaching net zero emissions. It is an invaluable asset in the fight for net zero emissions. CO2 injection sites are selected based on their physical properties – specifically their ability to safely…

Electric vehicles (EVs) offer the ideal solution to decarbonizing passenger transport. Producing zero tailpipe emissions and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to protect our health and the environment for generations to come, they produce zero tailpipe emissions which produces zero pollution from their tailpipe. These cars are also considerably quieter, reducing noise pollution that can stress…

Climate change mitigation entails decreasing emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere through measures such as limiting emissions, improving efficiency and increasing natural carbon sinks. Everyone can play an essential part. Selecting less polluting energy sources, cutting wasteful consumption and investing our funds in sustainable businesses are just some of the ways individuals can…

Energy policy determines energy prices, affects industrial competitiveness and consumer spending habits, while offering subsidies and incentives to promote renewables, energy efficiency and innovation. Unxious efforts to expand affordable renewable technologies, improve fracking standards, and stop pipeline construction across vulnerable lands can bring the promise of a cleaner future within reach. Policy Design Policy shapes…

Green buildings are defined by environmentally sustainable design, construction and operation practices that help future-proof communities from climate change and resource scarcity. Green buildings utilize natural elements like wind and sunlight to reduce energy use, leading to lower utility bills for their occupants, who often report improved health and productivity as a result. Environmentally friendly…

Mixed-use development refers to real estate that integrates housing, retail shops, restaurants, offices, and public spaces into a single neighborhood. Such mixed use developments provide diversity and convenience by placing amenities near one another and decreasing car travel. Implementation can also contribute to environmental sustainability by increasing density and encouraging walkability and connectivity, but is…

Sustainable urban infrastructure involves eco-friendly construction solutions using green technologies and energy saving systems, while designs must meet sustainability standards regarding resource management, environmental impacts and infrastructure resilience. Cities can work toward sustainability by investing in renewable energy sources that rely less on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change, and by creating and implementing transportation…

TOD refers to the practice of clustering housing, offices and shops within walking distance of a transit station for enhanced livability, reduced pollution and traffic congestion and higher property values. Edmonton boasts various examples of TOD communities, such as Century Park in the south near an LRT route and Strathearn in the northeast around an…
