To understand where we’re headed with climate change, we need to look at the latest political policies. What is the government doing to combat our changing climate and its impacts? What types of regulations are being put forth? What will the cost of moving away from fossil fuels be, both economically and socially?
By understanding the policies that are in place and the aims of our political parties, we can get a sense of where our political parties and the country as a whole is headed on this issue.
This episode of Hub Dialogues features Alex Pourbaix, the former President and CEO of Cenovus and current executive chair, discussing the challenges and opportunities inherent with net zero, why eliminating oil and gas is not the answer, and how Canada can become a technological leader in decarbonization.
This episode of Hub Dialogues features James Millar, the president and chief executive officer of the International CCS Knowledge Centre, on the key role carbon capture and storage will play in helping Canada meet its climate goals, why Canada is uniquely suited to becoming a global leader in implementing this innovative technology, and what more still needs to be done.
This episode of Hub Dialogues features Ian Bremmer, founder and president of the Eurasia Group, discussing his provocative book, The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats—and Our Response—Will Change the World.
Many Canadians seem to think that phasing out the production of Canadian oil and gas would be an effective way for the country to achieve its net zero objective. And there is no doubt that using such a policy approach could very significantly reduce GHG emissions. The problem is that the economic costs of taking such an approach would be very high.
This episode of Hub Dialogues features Pathways Alliance president Kendall Dilling on how Canada’s oil and gas sector can be a valuable partner in reducing the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, the current state of the various technologies helping to achieve that goal, and why decarbonizing energy will be an incredibly profitable opportunity in the long-term.
This episode of Hub Dialogues features Bruce Friedrich, founder and president of the Good Food Institute, discussing the economic, environmental, and moral case for cell- and plant-based alternatives to traditional meat.
This episode of In Conversation with Amanda Lang covers this week’s Q1 GDP numbers, the Alberta election results and their implications for Canadian public policy, and State Farm Insurance’s withdrawal from home insurance in California and how it may foretell a growing policy issue in Canada.
Any credible climate policy should aim to lower emissions in the oil and gas sector on a net basis rather than eliminate them and the sector itself altogether. Otherwise, the costs to Canada’s economy would be significant and painful.
The last eight years were the hottest on record. That’s a big problem for Canada’s cities, where more than seventy percent of us live. We need to ensure our communities can deal with extreme heat, increased flooding, and an increased need to house people fleeing natural disasters.
Deploying next-generation 5G and 5G-enabled technologies will have positive impacts on our efforts to reduce emissions, due to both direct increases in the energy efficiency of the networks themselves and indirect impacts across all sectors that utilize digital technologies.
