Rolling Out Climate Solutions: Technologies and Careers

The magnitude of the climate crisis is so overwhelming that it sometimes feels like it can never be solved. The good news is that nearly all the technologies needed to decarbonize already exist. How can we deploy low carbon solutions in our society? Learn about the technologies and training needed to supersize the new (clean) industrial revolution. Dr. Jim Sandercock will lay out a technical path toward eliminating our reliance on fossil fuels and highlight emerging jobs and industries which will help us along.

Jim Sandercock, PhD is Chair of Alternative Energy Technologies at NAIT. Jim has worked with other parts of NAIT to create solar upgrading courses for electricians and engineers in Alberta and Cuba. He holds a PhD in Microbiology and Biotechnology from the University of Alberta.

Iron & Earth is a worker-led not-for-profit with a mission to empower fossil fuel industry and Indigenous workers to build and implement climate solutions. Stephen Buhler has been working in the oil and gas industry as a journeyman machinist for the past 13 years. Always keenly aware that a transition to a net-zero economy was going to be required, he wanted a trade that would give him skills to work on infrastructure both in oil and gas, and renewables. After feeling that a transition to low-carbon energy was not happening with the urgency required, he got involved with grassroots climate organizations in Edmonton, where he used his experience as an oil and gas worker to help build connections between the work of young climate activists and fossil fuel workers.  Now he is bringing the energy and passion from his experiences with youth climate organizers to help his fellow fossil fuel workers advocate for the support and investments needed to transition to a low-carbon future. www.ironandearth.org
