On April 19 in Ottawa, Canada 2020 hosted our first Net-zero Leadership Summit, a gathering of leading experts and innovators from across Canada and beyond to explore the challenges and opportunities of achieving a net-zero economy. As we undergo shared global health and environmental challenges, along with major geopolitical and economic shifts, we must look to how markets, governments, and people can forge a new and better path forward. In the next of our series of highlight conversations from this summit, we hear a closing keynote from Steven Guilbeault (Minister of Environment and Climate Change) , and conversation with Diana Fox Carney (Senior Advisor, Eurasia Group and Strategic Advisory Board Member, Terramera) on the policies and partnerships necessary to achieve a more prosperous and sustainable Canada.
