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?

The Forest Products You’ve Never Heard Of
10 APR 2024 · This season on Canadian Forestry Can Save The World, we went deep on the different types of innovation and technology shaping the future of Canada’s forest sector. From carbon capture and storage to wildfire mitigation, we’ve heard how our forests and the people managing them are providing the economic and climate solutions to help us face some of our most pressing challenges. In the final episode of season two, we round out the season by sharing some of the more surprising ways wood is being used to develop innovative products, benefit mental and physical health, and provide an alternative to fossil fuels. You might even say some of these projects are out of this world… Missed Season 1?

We’re Getting There, But Not Quickly Enough
28 MAR 2024 · Earlier in Season 2 we spoke to Jamie Stephen of Torchlight Bioresources about the role of forest management in helping reduce wildfire risk and emissions from wildfires. In this episode, we revisit that conversation and ask the question, how does Canada compare globally and what more can be done? Jamie Stephen considers how changes to government policy can allow Canada to better harness the power of our forests to reduce emissions through carbon capture and storage and bioenergy.

Community Impact
19 MAR 2024 · In our previous episode we looked at the way traditional Indigenous forestry practices are allowing for new ways of thinking about innovation across the sector. This week, we dive deeper into a standout model of Indigenous leadership, Meadow Lake Tribal Council in northern Saskatchewan, where traditional wisdom and forest sector partnership come together to create province-wide economic opportunity and investment in local communities, all while engaging in innovative research and advancement.

Innovative Approaches To Reconciliation
12 MAR 2024 · In Season 2, we’ve looked at the many ways those in the forest sector are thinking differently to find innovative solutions to our most pressing climate challenges. This week, we turn that thinking on its head to examine how traditional ways of thinking about forestry are opening the sector up to new possibilities. JP Gladu, Principal of Mokwateh, Tina Rasmussen of Meadow Lake Tribal Council, and Jacob Taylor, CEO of Indigenous Aerospace, show us how Indigenous forest practices are strengthening the environment and creating economic opportunity.

Technology In Forestry Innovation
5 MAR 2024 · What do you think about when you think about forestry? For most Canadians, it’s the classic image of a lumberjack. What most don’t realise is today’s forest sector is using leading-edge technology and innovation to modernise and digitise operations. This week, we talk to Francis Charette of FP Innovations, Kevin Lim, CEO of Lim Geomatics, and Dr. Morgan Crowley, a forest fire research scientist from Natural Resources Canada about satellite surveillance, artificial intelligence and the range of new technology allowing us to better monitor and manage our forests.

Mass Timber at Mass Scale
20 FEB 2024 · Canada is facing a housing crisis. To meet rising demand and support the 1-in-5 Canadians unable to find affordable housing, we need to construct nearly 6 million units by 2030. This is a lofty but attainable goal if industry, governments, and the public can come together to support the innovative building solutions that will not only help us build more homes quickly, but align with our climate goals. And those solutions? They can be found in our forests. Missed Season 1?

Reducing Our Reliance on Fossil Fuels
6 FEB 2024 · Last week we looked at how companies like Resolute Forest Products are adopting a zero-waste approach to power their operations and reduce their carbon emissions. But what if it was possible to scale that innovation to help other sectors decarbonize? Or better yet, to power an entire town? This week, we look into a future that is actually playing out in the present, with towns like New Glasgow, Nova Scotia and Thunder Bay, Ontario turning to Canada’s forest sector to build energy resiliency and affordability in their communities.

The ‘Other Half of the Log’
30 JAN 2024 · We know trees are used to produce the lumber that will help us build more homes, but have you ever wondered what becomes of the bark, wood chips and branches leftover after a harvest? This week, we explore how the adoption of a zero-waste approach can help fuel our futureeconomy — in some cases, literally. From forest company’s like Resolute salvaging biomass out of areas affected by wildfires to LP Solutions creating more sustainable options for home-building, zero-waste innovations in Canada’s forest sector are maximizing the potential of one of Canada’s most renewable resources.
