Acting on Climate Change: Mobilizing Society to Find Solutions

BY CATHERINE POTVIN

Canada has repeatedly missed the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and is failing to take significant action to address climate change. Given the 21st session of the UN Conference on climate change which will be held in Paris in December, 2015, it is indeed a critical year for action on climate change. In response to this action Canadian scholars from across the country with diversified disciplinary backgrounds such as engineering, business to biology and sociology collaborated to ascertain variable solutions. The group identified ten  key policies orientations which could allow Canada to engage in the transition towards low – carbon economy.

The lecturer Dr Catherine Potvin will present a thorough discussion on the subject matter.
