As countries fuse their economic, environmental and geopolitical objectives, there is a growing imperative to link trade and climate policies.
Alberta must fix carbon credit market to ensure low-carbon growth
Alberta could miss out on billions of dollars in low-carbon investment if the province doesn’t fix a major problem with its carbon market, says a new report released today by Clean Prosperity. The Alberta carbon market is likely to face an oversupply of carbon credits before the end of the decade, which could further depress
Nuclear can help Canada achieve net-zero if we solve these problems

Here’s how to kick Canada’s low-carbon transition into high gear
The transition to a low-carbon economy presents an historic opportunity for Canada to generate lasting economic growth and good jobs for Canadians across this country. But too many firms are reluctant to make the big investments in decarbonization that are needed to drive that transition. What’s stopping them? A new report released today by Clean
