Bradford Seminar: "Getting to Net Zero: A Canadian Perspective."

Simon Donner, a professor of climatology at the University of British Columbia, will present “Getting to Net-Zero: A Canadian Perspective.” Donner will discuss the Canadian government’s approach to achieving its recently passed goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, which requires shifting from incremental to transformational public policy in a physically large country with decentralized governance and a substantial fossil fuel industry. He will examine the lessons for American climate action based on his work as a member of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body, which was created to advise the federal government on realizing its 2050 goal. This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI).
