Every week, evidence of looming catastrophic climate change seems to become stronger, including the 2021 heat dome deaths and mass flooding in British Columbia that underscored Canada’s vulnerability. For policy-makers, though, the task ahead of them is not getting any easier as they seek to navigate a changing global context. In this talk, hear from two experts in the economics and politics of climate change on what we know, what we’re learning, what we need to do, and the largest domestic and international challenges ahead.
Topics might include: What’s happened since the Paris Agreement? Where are international negotiations headed? What are Canadian governments doing? What sort of careers are available in this area? How can you get involved in climate activism? And anything else about climate change you want to talk about.
