Today, we face climate change, a loss of biodiversity and related erratic weather, at the same time we are in the midst of unprecedented technological change. Cumulatively, these events are creating geopolitical uncertainty and new global market expectations.
At the same time, new technologies, scientific discovery and advanced social and business practices offer opportunities to create sustainable solutions and new business horizons that can contribute to a brighter future.
With the necessary ingredients of innovation, forward-looking policies and public support, we can strengthen prosperity while meeting essential carbon reduction, environmental, economic and social equity targets. Sectors like energy, transportation, built spaces, advanced manufacturing, healthcare and agriculture will be critical to these efforts.
In Canada and worldwide, Querencia Partners is working to aid decision makers, support technical experts and engage and share knowledge amongst communities to help all of us make better choices.
Together, we can create the conditions for a sustainable, prosperous future.
