On October 31, 2023, Canada 2020 brought together a group of government and business leaders, technology experts, policymakers, and innovators from across the country at our Fall Net-Zero Leadership Summit: A Pre-COP28 Stocktake for Canada. In this featured session of the summit, we join a special conversation about making our politics a positive force for climate progress rather than an obstacle, with Anne McLellan (former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources for Canada), Lisa Raitt (former Minister of Natural Resources and Minister of Transportation for Canada), Sonya Savage (former Alberta Minister of Energy), Mark Cameron (Vice President, External Relations - Pathways Alliance; former Director of Policy Research in the Prime Minister’s Office), and Megan Leslie (CEO, WWF Canada; former MP and Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party).
