Our Climate Community

Our spaces and programs are brought to life by exceptional people focused on solving the climate crisis and its many related social and environmental challenges.

Climate Ventures startups and organizations are part of a community of climate entrepreneurs and innovators plugged into the Social Innovation Canada and Foresight networks.

With accelerators, the national Community of Innovators, peer circles, socials, workshops, online groups and advisors, we spark valuable connections and collaborations.
