In this episode Derek Nighbor, President and CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), joins Aspen at AFPA's 80th AGM and Conference to share his unique view of forestry in the federal landscape. Join them as they dig into big topics like net-zero carbon and what it means when we hear people talk about nature-based climate solutions, and what a forest bioeconomy is all about.
Derek also shares a bit about what drives his passion for Canadian forestry and explores themes of innovation, sustainability, and why as Derek puts it, "this is not your grandma and grandpa's forest sector."
