Alberta's opportunity to contribute to global solutions in agriculture, energy, and health is immense. Seizing this opportunity will take big ideas, lots of collaboration, and a little "can do" attitude.

In the special series of The Brief, called Missions & Moonshots, we are talking to top experts, business leaders, innovators, and thought leaders across Alberta and Canada exploring solutions to the world's biggest challenges in energy, agriculture, and health.

Our guest is Kendall Dilling, President of Pathways Alliance, an organization that has brought together Canada's biggest oil sands companies on a massive collaboration to reduce emissions from oil sands production, with the goal of net zero by 2050.

The discussion includes:

• Pathway's plan to net zero
