Aligning Canadian climate policy with competitiveness and growth

Effective policy creates the signals, regulatory frameworks and incentives necessary to attract capital to Canadian markets, support and accelerate innovation, remove barriers to growth and enable Canadian companies to compete globally. Climate policy that does not also unleash new innovation and economic growth is missing the mark. As the world continues to rapidly decarbonize, major economies like China are leagues ahead in developing low-cost clean energy and innovative technologies. Join policy experts and business leaders to explore the latest examples, evidence and research on how Canadian policy can be updated to align with a competitiveness and growth agenda. Find out how policymakers can help ensure Canada’s economy is future-fit in a time of turbulent trade dynamics, rising costs for businesses, and an increasingly competitive global energy transition.
