Welcome to Beyond Zero – a glimpse into the world we can realize

• Imagine looking back from 2060 down the path to a recovering climate that we travelled.

• Investments in ecosystem restoration and protection mature. Healthy forests are growing where severe disturbance was the norm and are absorbing and storing carbon.

• Renewable energy systems - wind, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen, solar - proactively constructed now energize a decarbonized economy. 

• Hydrocarbons are no longer unsustainable fuels. They have become a source of zero emission hydrogen and carbon fibre. 

• First Nations communities are thriving leaders as co-owners and stewards of the technological and natural systems that are the foundation of our decarbonized economy. 

Net Zero is not a destination; it’s a milestone on our journey Beyond Zero into a recovering climate.
