When it comes to climate action, “we’ve got the economics and the technology on our side. What we need is the leadership to drive behaviour change – and GLOBE can help us get there,” says Jane Ambachtsheer, Global Head of Sustainability, BNP Paribas Asset Management.
At GLOBExCHANGE 2025 in Toronto, Canada’s business and sustainability leaders came together in this time of extraordinary uncertainty to collaborate, strategize, and find hope for a more prosperous future. Now it’s up to all of us to take the bold action needed to advance Canada’s clean economy.
Watch as business leaders on-site at GLOBExCHANGE describe what’s required to advance Canada’s clean economy during these unprecedented times.
