Introducing a special, three-part series called, “The Growing Challenge”, coming soon to Disruptors.

It’s now clear that the national priorities of Net Zero and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples are inextricably linked. In the same spirit, we expect RBC’s reconciliation journey will increasingly intersect with our climate priorities.

How can agriculture technology, or agtech help increase Canadian farmers’ yields?

We spoke with two Indigenous business leaders about how to build a just and equitable energy transition to a low-carbon economy.

There isn’t a moment to lose. Policy action over the next 24 months must chart Canada’s climate-and-energy path to Net Zero by 2050.

Part one of, “Disruptors: The Climate Conversations” looks at Canada’s various paths to energy and climate security—and some of the key implications of whatever path we choose.

Can agtech innovation hold the key to sustainable, and cost-effective food chains?

What impact will nickel shortages have on tech innovators such as EV manufacturers who rely on this base metal?

Canada is on the cusp of a generational skills crisis. As a nation, we’ve set some of the most ambitious climate objectives in the world, led by an overarching goal to reach Net Zero emissions by 2050. This pursuit brings with it an abundance of opportunity: for Canadian innovation, for new green investment, and for economic growth.

The global meeting of government, business and community leaders—the first in three years—can’t quite be described as optimistic.
