The Federal Liberal Climate Action Formula: A Recipe for Failure~ March 25, 2021 & April 8, 2021
On this episode we take a look at the recent flurry of activity by the federal Liberal government on the climate change policy front.
In late 2020 and early 2021, the federal government announced a whole raft of climate-related initiatives including the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, A Hydrogen Strategy and a Nuclear Action Plan. To mark the fifth anniversary of the Paris Climate Accord, it also released an updated Climate Plan called “A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy”, on December 11, 2020.
The Liberal Climate Plan is not a satisfying read, nor a very convincing one.
To take stock what the Federal Liberals are up to on the climate change and energy policy fronts, I’m joined by David Roberson, chair of the Education Committee of Seniors for Climate Action Now (SCAN!) for a conversation about the March 2021 research paper we co-authored entitled “The Federal Liberal Climate Action Formula: A Recipe for Failure”.
