New research highlights net-zero solutions and benefits for rural, remote, and Indigenous communities – Environmental Journal
March 26, 2025
QUEST Canada, a leading charity dedicated to advancing Canada’s transition to net-zero, has released a groundbreaking literature review that explores the opportunities and challenges rural, remote, and Indigenous communities face in achieving net-zero targets. The review, titled Motivating Net-Zero Action in Rural, Remote, and Indigenous Communities (MNZA), provides fresh insights into how these communities can benefit from a solutions-focused approach while addressing their unique socio-economic needs.
Produced with funding provided through the Environmental Damages Fund’s Climate Action and Awareness Fund, administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), and part of a larger research project of the same name, the literature review explores the motivations and barriers to net-zero action in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities across Canada.
