“Canada continues to pursue its climate policy in a vacuum, ignoring the big picture of global emissions. This places at risk our international interests, tens of thousands of good paying jobs and important progress on reconciliation. Canada’s international allies are seeking our energy resources to enable them to displace higher emitting fuels and to support their security. This policy will act as a barrier to this and to the investment attraction required for ongoing environmental innovation.” – Shannon A Joseph, Chair of Energy for a Secure Future, provides a statement on federal oil and gas emissions cap announcement.

We have a huge disconnect in Ottawa again. Where do taxes come from that the government receives today? Businesses and individuals in the many firms including fuel tax, carbon tax, corporate and income tax from direct and indirect energy jobs across this country. The national GDP and export trade would suffer severely if we get out of the oil and gas industry. If you are going to reduce one side of the equation, you need to do the same on the other side or the scale does not balance. #canadianenergy #canadianlng #canadiannaturalgas #lloydminsterstrong

It was disappointing to hear a federal Minister say: "Whatever happens to production, emissions will go down." It matters a lot what happens to production for our country as whole, for particular regions like Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC, for Indigenous nations who are owners in energy assets, and for our international allies who are seeking partners in #energysecurity and #emissions reduction. Success on the big environmental picture requires Canadian #LNG displacing higher emitting fuels globally. The United States reduced their emissions by over 900MT converting from coal to natural gas, that is more than all of Canada's emissions. We could deliver more of that if we made it a priority. #energy4people #energysecurity #globalemissions

In a new Africa.Table article, Stefan Liebing argues, among other things, for the expansion of #CO2-reducing measures to take place primarily in #Africa and proposes further #opportunities for #cooperation in #energy #policy.

🌍⚡ Ursula von der Leyen announces new European Commission lineup. The European Commission plays a key role in advancing renewable energy initiatives, accelerating the shift to cleaner energy sources, and reducing carbon emissions. Through its legislative, regulatory, and funding efforts, the Commission plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable energy. From establishing robust Legislation and Policy Frameworks to driving Funding and Investment initiatives, implementing Regulatory Measures and Standards, and championing Climate Diplomacy and Global Leadership, the European Commission continues to lead the way in fostering renewable energy practices. #EuropeanCommission #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #odinglobal

Carbon management technologies and alternative clean fuel sources will play an important role in the decarbonization and competitiveness of Canada’s economy. Recognizing the urgency of climate action, the Government of Canada is working to strengthen the country’s advantages in these areas. #carbon #technology #economy https://lnkd.in/gYAheTvx

Earlier in April amaBhungane and Just Share authored a column criticising the lack of transparency between business and government in their engagements affecting climate policy. CEO of the Energy Council James Mackay responds to that column, indicating that business has been working with government to solve the energy crisis and details of these engagements are accessible.
