Over the past several months the Trudeau government has made some major choices about energy and environmental policy for Canada: it rejected one oil sands pipeline, approved two, and came to an agreement with the provinces on a climate plan that makes substantial progress towards meeting Canada’s international targets. This panel of UBC experts and community representatives assesses these decisions and discusses what’s next.
Moderated by: Sara Muir-Owen, Program Manager, Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions
Panelists:
- Simon Donner, UBC Geography: The climate math of Canada’s updated policies
- Kathryn Harrison, UBC Political Science: Federal-provincial dynamics in climate politics
- George Hoberg, UBC Liu Institute: Pipeline politics
- Stewart Muir, ResourceWorks: Social development issues
- Eugene Kung, West Coast Environmental Law: First Nations legal issues
- Christianne Wilhelmson, Georgia Strait Alliance: Environmental group perspective
