Where Are We and What Will it Take to Get to 2030
As Canada accelerates its climate and nature agenda and prepares to address its own unique climate-related challenges, public engagement is more critical than ever. This session will present Canadian insights from the GlobeScan Societal Shift Project—a global research initiative designed to identify the most effective pathways for activating collective sentiment toward a net-zero, nature-positive future.
Through a newly developed global survey instrument, the project explores five key dimensions of public engagement: perceived urgency, cognitive alignment, emotional drivers, sustainable behavior readiness, and support for systemic solutions. Results feed into a new Societal Shift Index, which tracks levels of public buy-in and identifies leverage points for accelerating a social shift.
Date: 25th November 2025
Time: 12.00 PM America/Toronto
Duration: 1 hour
We will share findings on:
- How people perceive the urgency and personal impact of climate and nature crises.
- What emotional and cognitive factors drive or hinder action.
- Which solutions – technological, behavioral, and policy-based – garner the strongest support among Canadians.
- How public sentiment varies across demographics and geographies.
This session will be especially relevant for companies, policymakers, NGOs, and communicators seeking to build broad-based support for climate and nature action in Canada.
