Episode 17
As we experience the hottest summer on record, reaching our Net Zero goals has become one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Canada's target is to achieve a net-zero economy—either emitting no greenhouse gases or offsetting any emissions—by 2050, with critical milestones set for 2030.
In this episode, we examine Canada’s progress toward these goals and explore how the economics of this transition will impact Canadians in various ways.
