Why SR, Why Now?
Pressures of industrial development and exploding population growth are not keeping pace with innovation and adoption of emerging technology and bio-technological solutions.
Climate change is real regardless of why it is happening and our communities are ill-prepared for a future of constrained resources and a changing climate.
60% turnover in decision makers –industry & government every 3-4 years.
5-10 year lag in the adoption of policy frameworks due to election cycles (municipal, provincial, federal), lack of investment security, and courage
Innovative solutions are being created, tested, and commercialized everyday
What would the world look like if we have a solid foundation for knowledge transfer and the capacity for rapid adoption of innovation?
