Over the past four years, climate and conservation policy have largely been treated as an afterthought as the Progressive Conservative government focused on development and the pandemic. The Narwhal has invited the Progressive Conservatives’ environment minister, David Piccini, and environment critics from the other major parties to discuss successes and missteps since 2018, and how they plan to build a climate consensus over the next term — no matter who wins the June 2 Ontario election.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9016521204365/WN_8iSBDmCyQ2ufQAsu1NKFhw">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9016521204365/WN_8iSBDmCyQ2ufQAsu1NKFhw</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#7030A0'>Decarbonizing the transportation sector in G20 countries by 2030 <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
