Solve for X: Innovations to Change the World

It’s now or never. Canada is warming at double the rate of other countries, and we have one of the highest GHG emissions footprints per capita in the world. The good news is much of the technology needed to solve the climate crisis already exists. A special new podcast series, Solve for X delves into these Canadian ideas and innovations that could help prevent the most disastrous consequences of climate change and build a cleaner future. From A.I. to advanced materials to energy optimization, tech journalist Manjula Servarajah digs into the big questions and explores some of the challenges innovators face in scaling their solutions.
