Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. To ensure that our planet can continue supporting human life, we need to minimize the volume of greenhouse gasses entering the Earth’s atmosphere and ensure that we protect the environment from other harms.

This is where climate technology – usually called climate tech – comes into play. These innovations aim to tackle climate change by helping us reduce emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and create sustainable energy solutions. Climate technologies could be the key to helping us overcome the daunting environmental challenges we’re currently facing.

This article will guide you through the essentials of climate technology, using some of the most important stats from 2025. We’ll cover everything from investment trends to the most impressive examples of clean energy solutions, offering you a snapshot of the climate tech industry and valuable insight into its potential.

Race and Nature in the City: Engaging Youth of Colour in Nature-Based Activities

A Community-based Needs Assessment for Nature Canada

By Jacqueline L. Scott & Ambika Tenneti

Nature Canada’s Race and Nature in the City report provides an evidence-based, community-informed needs assessment and makes recommendations for meaningfully engaging racialized communities in nature and nature-based programming in urban areas.

The research was commissioned in early 2020 to inform and guide Nature Canada and our partners in the work of incorporating anti-racism and equity in all of our programming. Much of the fieldwork occurred in the context of worldwide protests in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in response to the police killing of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the racial profiling of Christian Cooper, a Black birdwatcher in Central Park, New York.

It is critical for all nature groups to incorporate anti-racism and equity work in their programming and Race and Nature in the City provides practical and timely steps to support that work.
