Student Protests, Climate Change, and new Canadian Report Pathways

David Pollock, CACOR Chair, made the following Press Release  on March 15^th

CANADIAN ASSOCIATION for the CLUB of ROME:

The Association today supported a statement by the International Club of Rome with regard to supporting the concerns of students around the world and the crisis of climate change which their actions emphasize.  The statement includes the following quotation:

“ To avoid the worst outcomes, global carbon emissions must be cut by half by 2030 and to zero by 2050. For the wealthier nations, this increases to around 80% by 2030, with full de-carbonisation less than a decade later. This is an unprecedented task, requiring a reduction rate of at least 7% annually; no country has to date achieved more than 1.5%”  { Please read the full statement at  Link… }

The Canadian Association is presently undertaking a major project of modelling the bio-physical and infrastructural changes for Canada to explore if and what Pathways for Canada are possible to actually meet existing Paris climate change goals and then to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050.  This report will utilize the most comprehensive data bases available and for the first time at the pan-Canadian level will point to both a methodology which ensures targets are actually met if proper implementation occurs across all identified Pathways. The initial report is expected to be released by May 22, 2019.
