Question 1

Why join CCWX?

Accepted Answer

Canada has unique climate-related issues that require collaboration among various parties to agree on solutions and put them into action. CCWX events are expected to contribute to collective Canadian climate action.

Qualifying as an official CCWX event provides organizers with exposure to a broad audience interested in helping Canada meet its climate goals. In addition to the CCWX website, CCWX Founding Members will support official CCWX events with other channels of promotion.

Question 2

What type of events are eligible?

Accepted Answer

The goal of Canada Climate Week Xchange (CCWX) is to attract, curate and promote a variety of accessible action-oriented events that focus on Canada’s unique perspective and situation on climate-related issues. It is for that reason that CCWX is open to nearly any type of event structure; whether in-person, hybrid, virtual, invite-only, or in some cases recorded, so long as available during CCWX.  Event types could include, but are not limited to:

conferences/think tanks
webinars/seminars/panel/fireside discussions
workshops/roundtables
exhibitions/performances
school/college/university organized activities
grass-roots community activities

We encourage events to take place across Canada to give interested parties exposure to a variety of content from wherever they are located across the nation.
