About the program
Led by Dalhousie University’s Ocean Frontier Institute, in partnership with Université du Québec à Rimouski, Université Laval, and Memorial University, the Transforming Climate Action program is conducting integrated, interdisciplinary and multi-institutional research to:
Reduce critical uncertainty in the climate system
Advance responsible marine carbon dioxide removal science
Support just and equitable climate adaptation
Cutting across these themes are four Transformation Accelerators, which support and catalyze TCA projects to deliver impactful outcomes and benefits for Canada.
