We are exc ited to join in with the Canada Climate Week Xchange\, CCWX\, which brings Canadians from coast to coast together\, one week a year\, to collaborate o n solutions and opportunities to address our country’s unique climate-relat ed challenges.
This year\, CCWX runs from November 24 - 30 to follow directly from the events at COP 30.
CCJ Co-Director Carol Liao is als o Chair and Principal Co-Investigator of the Canada Clim ate Law Initiative\, and says that national dialogue is critical for ensuri ng the country is acting on climate change.
“Canada has only five years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 4 5 percent in line with its 2030 targets under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissio ns Accountability Act\,” says Liao. “Cross-collaborations among academia\, public and private sectors\, Indigenous communities\, civil society and sci entists are essential to drive climate solutions and opportunities in Canad a. We hope the Canada Climate Week Xchange will serve as a vehicle for dial ogue among these stakeholders."
