Building a Sustainable Future: Opening of the 2023 Climate Symposium

Welcome to the Calgary Climate Symposium, where we gather to ignite change, discuss climate challenges, and build a greener and healthier Calgary for everyone. This symposium serves as a platform to explore how Calgary can position itself for a low-carbon future, strengthen communities to be resilient to climate change impacts, and ensure no one is left behind as we look to the future.

Building a Sustainable Future: Opening of the 2023 Calgary Climate Symposium marks the beginning of this informative event. The speakers embody the spirit of change and resilience. We are honored to welcome Clarence Wolfleg Miiksika’am (Red Crane), a Cultural and Spiritual Advisor from the Siksika Nation, Jyoti Gondek, the Mayor of Calgary, Stuart Dalgleish, the Chief Operating Officer of The City of Calgary, and Carolyn Bowen, Director of Climate and Environment at The City of Calgary. Together, they will offer their expertise and perspectives on shaping a sustainable future for our city.

Join us as we embrace the challenges, seize the opportunities, and create a future where Calgary thrives in harmony with the environment.

About the Calgary Climate Symposium

The Calgary Climate Symposium is an opportunity to open up the conversation about climate change – how and why to talk about it, how it affects Calgarians and what we can do about it together. Connect with community leaders, entrepreneurs, prominent climate experts and City staff for a series of unique (and free!) virtual learning opportunities at the Calgary Climate Symposium, October 23 to 27, 2023.

The Calgary Climate Symposium will explore:

• how Calgary can position itself for a low carbon future and leverage economic opportunities,
• how Calgary can strengthen communities to be resilient to climate change impacts and hazards, and
• how to ensure no one is left behind as we plan for the future.
