Thank you to the World Congress of Science & Factual Producers for another great networking event.

This year’s conference in Glasgow was so inspiring.

Climate change, how we tell that story, how we want the world to be in 2030 and where the money is for programming were themes Brandy Yanchyk was particularly interested in at the conference.

Thank you so much Edmonton Screen Industries Office for giving Brandy Yanchyk a Market and Event Access Grant to come Glasgow to learn and pitch her films.

For the last week Journalist Brandy Yanchyk has been reporting and field producing on a short film called “A New Climate” for ITN Business.

Brandy’s team filmed trainees from 5 different Métis settlements in northern Alberta who are part of a forest carbon inventory training programme developed by Anew.
It is airing on the New Scientist and International Emissions Trading Association websites and was created just in time for the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, also known as #COP27.

ITN Business writes: “One week since we were filming in Alberta, Canada with Anew. We learned how Canada are working toward achieving its commitment to Net Zero emissions by 2050 through land management approaches, working with several Métis communities who are leading the way by developing Forest carbon Offset projects within their settlement lands. Brandy Yanchyk spoke with Martin Baker, Senior Director, Natural Climate Solutions at Anew, Scott Cardinal, Kikino Métis Settlement Councillor and Taylor Gladue, a trainee from the Elizabeth Métis Settlement, to find out more.
'Net Zero: The Integrity Pathway' will be available to watch on the International Emissions Trading Association website tomorrow, and will also be featured on the New Scientist website.
ITN Business Producer: Pamela Emerson.”
