The Ontario Environment and Cleantech Business and Policy Forum - May 17, 2016

High stakes, low carbon: The business of climate change in Ontario

As Ontario moves to establish a cap-and-trade system and governments across the country increase investments in green infrastructure and technologies, how can Ontario businesses benefit? Where will the billions of new investment dollars flow? What policy changes are coming that will affect our businesses - and create new opportunities? Join us for a day of exploring the issues facing Ontario businesses and governments.
