Emma Norton - Director of Government Relations at the Climate Emergency Unit

In this week’s episode of This Must be The Place, Shawna speaks to passionate climate advocate Emma Norton. She is the Director of Government Relations at the Climate Emergency Unit ( a project of the David Suzuki Institute). Not afraid to “pound the climate emergency drum”, she is working tirelessly to reduce emissions through deep-energy retrofits and more responsive policy.

In this episode:

• We discover why her passion for the environment was ignited in university.

• We learn that she has TWO jobs-including a non-profit that she cofounded.

• Learn why she doesn’t think governments are acting fast enough and what she’s doing to sound the alarm on the climate emergency.
