Why we urgently need a climate policy reset at both the federal and provincial/territorial levels 👇 Canada is off track, but every megatonne of emissions reduced counts

NEW: Our early estimate of Canada’s national emissions is out and shows progress stalled in 2024. The country’s 2030 targets are now out of reach, emphasizing the need for a coordinated policy reset with the federal and provincial governments. ⬇️ climateinstitute.ca/news/2024-emis…



Climate change is supercharging wildfires, and we are seeing yet another destructive wildfire season threaten communities across Canada 🔥 My colleague Zach Carriere and I outline five key actions govs can take to reduce wildfire risk in this article 👇

The reach of fires across the country could not make it more clear: Canada must shift from reacting to wildfires to preparing for them. Viviane Gauer and Zach Carriere lay out five key actions governments can take to reduce wildfire risk ⬇️ climateinstitute.ca/five-ways-gove…

There are many ways a wildfire can start, but it’s climate change that’s driving the conditions for them to grow bigger, faster, and more dangerous. A spark alone won’t start a firestorm—but in a tinder-dry forest, it can ⬇️ vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Climate change is fueling devastating wildfires burning across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta through intensified heat, drought and atmospheric conditions. 🧵⬇️ cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

The rising share of SUVs worsens the climate and safety issues we already face in our transport system. Why are SUVs such a trend, and what can be done about it? Check out this piece by researchers from @SFU_START: theconversation.com/the-rising-can… via @ConversationCA


Novel research from @SFU_START explores the link between consumer engagement with aspects of automobility and consumer interest in shared, automated, and electric mobility. The paper - my first PhD study - was recently published in TRD: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…


Where does Canada stand on net-zero targets and what actions are needed to get there? Tom Gunton lays it out in this brief piece:

#Opinion: To meet its climate objectives, Canada must set binding carbon targets, eliminate subsidies for the oil and gas sector, and halt development of major fossil fuel infrastructure projects. cbc.ca/1.6224139

The latest research from @JonnAxsen looks at the evidence for how road pricing can be used for effective GHG reduction: it can be effective in the short & long term, but careful implementation will improve equity & acceptability, doi.org/10.1016/j.enpo…

The differences in impacts between 2 and 3 degrees of global warming are just shocking. This is the time to act.

The difference between 1.5°C, 2°C or 3-4°C average global warming can sound marginal. In fact, they represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity. (Thread 1/5) #ClimateEmergency

Our report for David Suzuki Foundation on the contribution cities can make to GHG reduction. For some things, like ZEVs, do need collaboration with senior levels of government. davidsuzuki.org/science-learni…


My very first research paper is out! Published in @elementascience. We look at strategies that facilitate climate adaptation in Indigenous communities I’m very grateful to my supervisors and especially to the community members that collaborated in this project 👇
