How will Canadian industry prosper in a decarbonizing global economy?
This webinar will explore the recommendations to Canadian policymakers arising from two new reports by the Commission on Carbon Competitiveness — a group of leading Canadian and U.S. experts in economics, climate policy, and trade law.
For over a year, the Commission has studied the opportunities and challenges facing Canadian industries as they work to reduce their emissions while remaining globally competitive.
At the webinar, Commissioners will be joined by leaders from Canadian industry to look at how public policy tools like emissions pricing systems, border carbon adjustments, and emissions-intensity standards can best be designed to support Canadian competitiveness.
Whatever Canada does, cooperation with our biggest trading partner will be critical. We’ll discuss the implications of the upcoming U.S. presidential election for Canadian industry’s push to decarbonize.
This event marks the launch of the Commission’s first two reports on Canadian carbon competitiveness. The first report analyzes the unique competitiveness challenges across specific industrial sectors. The second report makes recommendations to policymakers that are designed to protect the competitiveness of these industries as they decarbonize.
Clean Prosperity Executive Director Michael Bernstein is vice-chair of the Commission. Learn more at carboncompetitiveness.ca.
