Ecopia AI Briefs Canadian Net-Zero Advisory Board on Use of Digital Twin Toward 2050 Climate Targets

June 9, 2022 -- Toronto, Ontario -- Yesterday, Ecopia AI briefed Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Board on the subject of how a digital twin can help accelerate progress toward federal Net-Zero 2050 targets.

During this brief, we highlighted how high-precision vector maps (the foundation of a digital twin) can be leveraged to better understand the current state of the country, accelerate climate resilience initiatives, and monitor progress toward sustainability goals - including rooftop solar installations, tree canopy cover expansion, and improved flood mapping. These maps not only offer transformational data to support accelerated action and benchmarking, but can also provide unprecedented insights to help inform funding, policy, and governance decision-making.

The Net-Zero Advisory board was established in 2021 by the Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change with the goal of supporting Canada in achieving its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
