An advisory group that released 25 pieces of advice for Ottawa in a report on Friday says independent industry experts should be deployed to bridge the political divide so Canada can reach net zero by 2050
Canada’s efforts to retool its economy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions are being jeopardized by federal-provincial squabbling, and the co-chair of the panel advising Ottawa says independent industry experts should be deployed to bridge the political divides.
Independent intermediaries who are experts in various sectors, such as energy or transportation, can offer knowledge and seek know-how from others in their fields, as well as develop “sectoral buy-in,” the NZAB said in its report. Such go-betweens can improve the flow of information between industry and government and help keep climate-related initiatives from getting derailed by commercial interests.
As an example of a potential expert group, he mentioned Accelerate, an alliance of academics, organized labour, manufacturers, mining companies and environmental groups tasked with developing a Canadian zero-emission vehicle supply chain in line withThe NZAB was created in 2021 under the Canadian Net Zero Emissions Accountability Act. It now has nine members after the departure of five others in the past two years.
