Climate & Energy
Canadians are witnessing the devastating effects of climate change on the world. We know that the problem isn’t going away, and Canadians want to be part of the solution. Our energy is heavily supplied by greenhouse gas emissions-producing fossil fuels like — oil, coal and gas. And today, Canada is escalating its investment in oil production to supply a North American market dominated by oil-burning cars.
The solution lies in shifting the way we think. To reduce emissions, we need to start talking about energy. Because, energy—how we create it and how we use it—is at the heart of the issue. The answer isn’t just about taking cars off the road; it’s also about taking cars—and everything else we use—off the carbon. And there is no better place on Earth for this to happen than Canada.

We have the means and expertise to do this. And we can develop the technology to export our green energy technology and skills to countries searching for low-carbon alternatives.
