ECO Canada has announced the launch of Project Innovating GHG-Reduction, Nurturing Institutions, And Training Enterprises (IGNITE) and the Government of Canada is investing $1 million to support it.
The Project IGNITE initiative aims to facilitate low-carbon technology adoption and workforce development, paving the way for significant GHG emissions reduction across Canada.
“The launch of Project IGNITE marks a significant milestone in our collective efforts to combat climate change and build a sustainable future,” said Sindhu Kampli, Project Analyst at ECO Canada.
“Through strategic partnerships and innovative approaches, we are empowering businesses and institutions to embrace low-carbon technologies and practices, driving meaningful progress towards our climate mitigation goals.”
Key outcomes of Project IGNITE include workforce and institutional capacity building, removing adoption barriers, and accelerating climate mitigation efforts.
By fostering human and institutional resource development for technology deployment, the project will enable the implementation of carbon reduction projects across Canada, particularly within small and medium-sized businesses and institutional partners.
