NEW REPORT📢 Critical minerals offer a huge economic opportunity for 🇨🇦 in the global energy transition—but current investments are not keeping pace with demand. Smart policies can accelerate investment, uphold Indigenous rights & protect the environment⬇️ climateinstitute.ca/reports/critic…

It’s truly amazing having a pedestrian street so long that it takes 20 minutes to walk from end to end. This video is 20× speed! But it’s also sad to fly back into Montreal just in time to see most of Avenue Mont-Royal starting to be dismantled for the season.

So yesterday was the single busiest day ever recorded by any bike counter in the region, ever. The Johnson St Bridge multi-use deck saw 4,484 rides across it Note: counter misses the bike lanes, so likely total bike volume over JSB was 6k+

And it’s confirmed. Alberta, long dominated by coal power, has now completed its phaseout of the fuel, 6 years ahead of the stated goal of 2030. #ableg

New @climateinstit report out today on the least-cost path to net zero for 🇨🇦's building sector, implications for gas networks, and how to send better signals to regulators. Policy inaction risks stranded assets that will make costs higher, net zero more challenging, or both.

📣 NEW REPORT 📣 To meet Canada’s climate goals, the way we heat buildings needs to change. Our new report Heat Exchange analyzes how to keep building heat reliable and affordable, with a planned switch from gas to electric heat. #cdnpoli #CleanEnergy climateinstitute.ca/reports/buildi…

New research from 440 Megatonnes shows industrial carbon pricing is the single-biggest driver of reductions between now and 2030—and climate policies in 🇨🇦 are reducing emissions. 🧵👇 #cdnpoli climateinstitute.ca/news/industria…

🚨NEW RESEARCH 🚨Our independent assessment shows climate policies in 🇨🇦 are cutting emissions, putting the country within 85-90% of its 2030 target. But stronger action from all orders of government is needed to close the gap. 🧵👇 #cdnpoli climateinstitute.ca/news/independe…

So I made this animated map of the growth of NYC protected bike infrastructure last summer and put it on Wikipedia. I hope this encourages people who support this infrastructure, and I'd love feedback for how to make it better if I do a second version.

I spoke with companies affected by Alberta’s pause on wind & solar projects. None were consulted, nor was the major industry group. Texas-based Proteus says this will chill investment in Alberta & Canada. “We got screwed” the CEO told me #ableg #cdnecon theglobeandmail.com/business/indus…
