Yet the country is set to miss this target, in part due to ongoing support for fossil fuels. In fact, a recent scorecard ranked Canada last among G20 OECD countries for progress in ending fossil fuel support, even as the federal government committed to net-zero by 2050. This webinar will present Canada’s current state of fossil fuel support and identify where the problem spots are, comparing to other G20 countries. We’ll examine how Canada’s planned policies and actions will expand fossil fuel production, widening the gap from what’s needed for 1.5°C and 2°C pathways and creating other risks in the process. Special attention will be placed on what the US election means for climate action post-2021.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mRdSyYEDTlOOph0FFcvCHA">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mRdSyYEDTlOOph0FFcvCHA</a> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B050'>Canada's 2 Billion Trees Initiative - Hope for Nature and the Climate?</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.
