Greg Kiessling

Chair

Why Greg founded Clean Prosperity

“I’ve always believed that a better future requires both economic strength and a sustainable approach to environmental issues. Applying market-based solutions to environmental problems can solve them at the lowest cost to the economy, jobs, and prosperity. It worked with acid rain and it can work with climate change. That’s why I am a foundational donor to Canadians for Clean Prosperity.”

“From coast to coast to coast, Canada is a nation with diverse energy needs, geography, and socioeconomic realities. Canada’s net-zero ambitions require market-oriented policies that incentivize innovation and investment in low-carbon technologies; and carbon markets, to ensure a just, reliable, and reasonable energy transition that will encourage economic development and meet the environmental needs of all communities.”

Janet MacEachern

Serving on this Board gives me the opportunity to contribute to that national effort and help create an enduring impact for the next generation.”
