What is it?
MaRS Discovery District is launching the Mission from MaRS: Better Buildings initiative aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment. Discover how this latest MaRS climate mission will help innovate and decarbonize the world’s most emissions-heavy sectors.
With 2030 climate goals fast approaching, Canada’s buildings urgently need to decarbonize. According to the UN Environment Programme, the buildings and construction sector accounts for 37 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the largest of any industry.
MaRS is hosting the mission launch through a live, free, online event with a national call for venture applications.
