Fostering dialogue on conservative climate policy with The Hub

Canada has a major economic opportunity in the global low-carbon economy.

But Canada must get its climate and energy policies right. Those policies should be informed by principles like leveraging the ingenuity of markets and free enterprise, limited government, and respect for provincial jurisdiction.

Clean Prosperity’s partnership with The Hub

We’ve partnered with The Hub to sponsor a series of essays and podcasts about the why, what, and how of conservative climate policy. The series will feature contributions from leading conservative thinkers and other experts. It will run through the fall of 2024.

We want to provide a forum for conservatives across the country to discuss their ideas for an effective approach to climate policy that contributes to Canada’s economic prosperity, leverages technology to accelerate decarbonization at home and abroad, and supports energy security across the Western world—all while ensuring affordability for Canadians.

Canada urgently needs ambitious and innovative conservative ideas about how to best pursue these objectives, because achieving them is going to require the combined efforts of all Canadians.

Clean Prosperity has agreed with The Hub that this series will aim to foster an open dialogue that invites a diversity of perspectives and welcomes debate. While we will share our insights alongside others, The Hub will retain full editorial control.

Here you’ll find the full range of articles, op-eds, and podcasts published as part of our climate series with The Hub

We’re excited to see where the conversation goes.
