What if Net Zero is only the beginning?

On June 1, Calgary Climate Week opens with a keynote from William McDonough, visiting Calgary for the first time.

A TIME “Hero for the Planet” and co-author of Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, McDonough will challenge conventional thinking and take audiences beyond Net Zero into a new paradigm: Net Positive, Circular Carbon, and regenerative growth.

Drawing on his work with governments and global industry, he’ll explore what it takes to redesign Alberta’s energy systems, manufacturing, and data centres, and how Calgary can lead in the next era of global competitiveness.

This keynote launches a full week of bold conversations and experiences designed to turn ambition into action, while positioning Calgary as a global hub for climate leadership.
