Sustainability
Climate change is impacting our environment and providing new economic opportunities.
We’re championing sustainable solutions to create a resilient workforce, mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, and help young people (ages 18 to 30) facing barriers prepare for new careers.
As part of our new strategic plan we are also integrating sustainability into all areas of our work including supporting veterans as they build green businesses and reducing our carbon footprint.
For 2020-2021 we are moving forward with our first initiative in this area, focused on urban forestry and green trades. We will be gradually broadening our work, including learning from and acting with Indigenous peoples on environmental stewardship and healthy relationships with the land and the natural world.
