As the Canada-EU summit gets underway in Montreal, here’s why climate action is integral to a new agreement between Canada and the EU
Deaths associated with wildfire smoke in Canada increased 275% since the early 2000s, according to a new Lancet report.
More work is needed to protect Canadians, as the country warms 2x faster than the global average. 👇

NEW: Our latest report shows how Canada can grow its EV charging network for a net zero future—expanding it to meet the federal government’s commitment of 90% EV market share by 2040.⚡️
🧵⬇️ on the main findings.

But there are major gaps in Canada’s fast-charging network today. Governments can help apartment and condo residents overcome hurdles to accessing chargers, and help fill gaps in rural and remote areas (see the orange strips on the map⬇️).

Charging providers and EV owners also depend on policy certainty to make investments with confidence.
Yesterday’s announcement delaying stronger tailpipe standards compromises this certainty and steepens the climb to get back on track.

Yesterday’s announcement that the Carney government will delay vehicle emissions standards steepens the climb to reach its own commitments on electric vehicles, affordability, and energy security.
