The global fight against climate change has become a collective race against the clock. To keep the average temperature from rising by more than 1.5°C — the mark noted by nations the world over as the one we need to hit to fulfill the promise we’ve made to future generations — we need collective action from every corner of society.
Our forests have a critical role to play in that fight, and Canada’s in particular stand as a potential game-changer when it comes to growing a greener economy and combatting climate change. But how we manage them matters.
In this podcast we’ll explore what’s happening in Canada’s forests and why they represent so much untapped potential. We’ll talk to the experts who are leading the charge in efforts to advance sustainability in the forestry sector and the innovators who are using this renewable resource to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and build more sustainable communities.
We’ll explore the misconceptions that have complicated the narrative around Canada’s forestry sector and whether sustainably sourced wood products can be Canada’s ultimate contribution to the climate crisis.
Join us as we answer the question: Can Canada’s forests really save the world?

In 2023, wildfires ravaged Canada’s forests, consuming over 16.5 million hectares of land, twice the previous record set in 1989 and over 6.5 times the national average of area affected.
So what can be done? This week we’ll talk with Mike Morrow, a Wildfire Prevention Officer with the BC Wildfire Service and Jen Beverly, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Alberta, about the reality of what’s happening on the ground and the practices that can help mitigate the severity of wildfires. We also talk to Dr. Jamie Stephen of Torchlight Bioresources about how the timber produced from thinning can be used to fuel a promising new energy source: biomass.
