Ontario Society of Professional Engineers
At OSPE, advocacy is our cornerstone, driving us to create change and progress within the engineering community. To fulfill this commitment, we've established five task forces, each focused on conducting research and providing policy recommendations in areas critical to engineers in Ontario.
In part two of our series, we spotlight the work being done by OSPE's Climate Crisis Task Force. Host Jerome James speaks with task force chair Geoff Sheffrin about important work being done to advocate for sustainable solutions and influence government policy to combat climate change in Ontario.
From EV infrastructure to green hydrogen, tune in to learn how engineers can leverage their skills to contribute to a greener future.
