My book is out! It’s called Fossilized: Environmental Policy in Canada’s Petro-Provinces, published with @UBCPress. Here’s a quick overview and a look ahead. ubcpress.ca/fossilized

Today, 73 organizations and 106 academics sent a letter to PM Trudeau and federal ministers, urging the Government of Canada to end all public financing of fossil fuels, including petrochemicals, ahead of #COP29. It’s time to #StopFundingFossils bit.ly/3N0F3Tz

Perfect placement by the Globe and Mail. Climate disasters are indeed brought to us by RBC and all others who continue to fund fossil fuel expansion while national treasures burn. #RBCFossilBank #JasperNationalPark

@AmandaMsteph Fascinating reporting, Amanda. Thank you.

1) This Alberta-government commissioned report is fascinating, in part because of what it says about the feasibility of carbon capture and storage. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Exciting news! Canada is showing leadership with the passage of the Sustainable Jobs Act, Bill C-50. This legislation requires govt to equip workers and communities impacted by the energy transition with the tools they need to thrive in the green economy. #Cndpoli 1/

For a just climate transition in Canada: we invite the government to implement Climate Transition Plans across the economy, and the Climate-Aligned Finance Act #CAFA, to help align our financial system with a safer global climate.

It's mind-boggling that our governments are still putting BILLIONS of public dollars into fossil fuels every year, working directly against climate action Canada must put an end to it this year w a strong policy to end all public financing for FF👇

Global warming caused by humans is advancing at 0.26 °C per decade – the highest rate since records began 🌡️⚠️ Warming caused by human activity reached a record 1.31°C in 2023, and the longer-term trend shows a continued rise.

@HoffmannMatt Thanks, Matt, for underlining these perspectives. This resonated with me, particularly the mix of fear but also (activated, evidence-based) hope.

Our new research in @sciencemagazine shows that no new fossil fuel projects are needed to meet energy demand in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5°C. We need bans & advocacy to build a #NoNewFossil norm doi.org/10.1126/scienc… @OlivierBvK @st_pye @FuelOnTheFire @ucl @IISD_Energy

"To continue investing in oil sands expansion is to invest in a world of climate chaos," writes @amyjanzwood, Assistant Professor @McGillPoliSci @McGillBSE via @ConversationCA Janzwood's #InformedOps @ bit.ly/3WOLoaQ theconversation.com/why-the-trans-…

Great story by @CBCFletch. If the oil + gas industry is serious about meaningful climate action, they should be backing the Emissions Cap to the hilt. Instead, they're asking for taxpayers to prop up unproven carbon capture projects. @CAPE_ACME cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

If you missed yesterday's webinar, you can now watch the recording and delve into the special issue on the Sussex website: sussex.ac.uk/research/proje… A huge thanks to our speakers @AngelaVCarter @harrovanasselt @DrAmandaSlevin @kjellkuehne Sarah Greene & @PeterJNewell_ 🙏

NEW REPORT | World leaders agreed to transition away from fossil fuels at COP28 but what next steps are needed to put this commitment into action? Our 🆕 report outlines 5️⃣ ways. 🧵1/6

Big congrats to the team on the new report: @OlivierBvK, Angela Picciariello, @vanceculbert, @climatemegan , @nataliejon_es, @FuelOnTheFire, @Roo_Ullah, Jonas Kuehl, @PaoYanguas, on the new report! So good to see some of you in this video.

@PeterJNewell_ @DrAmandaSlevin @harrovanasselt @kjellkuehne @Fred_Daley Check out the full journal issue at the link below. It's an impressive collection of 11 papers by 27 contributors spanning a wide range of supply-side climate policy dynamics. link.springer.com/collections/ed…

Happening today: webinar on climate policy research that gets to the core of the problem: fossil fuels. I'm looking forward to co-hosting with @PeterJNewell_ & hearing from @DrAmandaSlevin @harrovanasselt @kjellkuehne Sarah Greene & Alessandra Arcuri. All thanks to @Fred_Daley!

@yytsnf @harriscentre @RussAlanWill @CSaulnierHfx @NLhumanrights @jessmccormick Thank you for being with us and for your provocative question, Mike.

Thanks @harriscentre for hosting the panel "Making it Work: Labour Market Policy Challenges for NL". An information share by @RussAlanWill @AngelaVCarter @CSaulnierHfx @NLhumanrights and Childcare Advocate (name ?) . Chaired by @jessmccormick. Kudos and thanks all.

“#RenewableEnergy...& energy efficiency are effective solutions for helping 🇨🇦 reach its climate commitments. But we won’t see real climate progress until the oil sector’s emissions 📉"—@AngelaVCarter. 200+ academics urge 🇨🇦 to enact the #EmissionsCap.👇📧amyjanzwood.wordpress.com/2024/05/06/let…
