Summer Webinar Series: Carbon Province, Hydro Province: The Challenge of Canadian Energy and Climate Federalism

When and Where

Wednesday, June 24, 2020 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Speakers

Professor Douglas Macdonald

Description

Join us for this Webinar discussion, at which Professor Douglas Macdonald will present the findings from his analysis of all five national energy and climate programs to date, from Pierre Trudeau’s National Energy Program to Justin Trudeau’s Pan-Canadian Framework. Based on those findings, Professor Macdonald will present his recommendations for how all parts of the country can start moving down the same path of declining emissions without doing unacceptable harm to national unity.

Moderated by Professor Steve Easterbrook, director of the School of the Environment, the discussion will include how that set of recommendations can be implemented in the new context of the current COVID-19 emergency.
