Our Conversations
Over the course of several years and a major production tour across Canada and the U.S., we had the opportunity to speak with many incredible individuals on climate and clean energy. While we weren't able to include all these voices in a 1-hour feature, we continue to post individual profiles in our ongoing interview series Climate Matters, and showcase these leaders here as inspiring reminders of the enormous number of people already taking action on climate change, at home and around the world.
