Climate Entrepreneurship

What Climate Entrepreneurship Means for the Future of the Canada Environment

Climate entrepreneurship is an emerging field of study and the practice of developing innovative, sustainable, and community-driven solutions that address the urgent challenges posed by climate change. In regions like Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwestern Ontario, and Minnesota, where the impacts of environmental change are deeply felt, climate entrepreneurship empowers local leaders, youth, and innovators to respond with creativity, cultural knowledge, and economic opportunity.

Exploring Climate Entrepreneurship

This category highlights projects that blend green innovation, land-based learning, and entrepreneurship training to foster climate resilience in remote, Northern, and Indigenous communities. From regenerative agriculture and renewable energy to arts-based engagement and digital storytelling, climate entrepreneurs are reimagining how we live, work, and care for our environment in the face of a changing planet.

Saskatoon Berry Blossoms Signal Spring Across Northern Forests

These early white blossoms belong to the Saskatoon bush (Amelanchier alnifolia), one of the boreal forest’s most generous and resilient plants. For generations, Saskatoon berries have nourished communities, supported pollinators, and thrived in northern climates. This year, we're proud to be adding Saskatoon bushes to our food production project—deepening our connection to the land, strengthening local food systems, and honouring traditional knowledge through action.

Sustainable Apple Care: Tips for Young Trees & Environmental Stress

Year two of our arts incubator land lab's food security program is in full swing! We've grown dozens of beautiful apple pippins from seed since February, excited to expand our sustainable agriculture project. But moving them outdoors brought an unexpected challenge: environmental shock! Seeing those dried, stressed leaves was a learning moment. We're now focused on helping them recover through careful "hardening off" – gradually reintroducing them to the outdoor environment. This means starting in a sheltered spot, slowly increasing their exposure to sun and wind, and ensuring consistent, proper watering.
