Operations Associate (Part Time)

Who we are The climate crisis demands bold action. We need to slash our carbon emissions and remove the excess carbon dioxide that is already heating up our planet. That’s where Carbon Removal Canada comes in. We are a new climate initiative with a big vision: to make Canada a world leader in scaling carbon removal solutions that can help us reach net-zero emissions and beyond. We are the first group in Canada singularly focused on this mission. We think Canada has what it takes to be a pioneer in carbon removal. We have the resources, know-how, and the innovation ecosystem to succeed. We also have a responsibility to act as one of the highest per capita emitters of greenhouse gasses. Our goal at Carbon Removal Canada is to shape leading policies that will accelerate the scale-up of carbon removal technologies in Canada while setting a global standard for deploying them in a responsible manner. We will push for smart investments in science and research that will advance the efficacy and integrity of carbon removal solutions. And we will champion solutions that are socially and environmentally responsible, ensuring that they benefit all Canadians and respect Indigenous rights. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement for carbon removal and intend to elevate voices that are often ignored in climate conversations.
