Welcome to our new blog! Starting now, the Pembina Institute's climate change blog will be the place to go for:
- Updates on climate news from around the world and close to home
- Our perspective on climate issues as they develop
- The inside scoop on Pembina's work
Between now and mid-December, we'll also bring you front-line updates from the international climate negotiations in Copenhagen. With each posting, you'll hear from different members of the Pembina Institute's climate team, which specializes in federal climate policy in Canada.
We've just wrapped up our latest project — producing a series of factsheets that give an overview of the most crucial climate policy issues from a Canadian perspective. With the UN climate summit in Copenhagen just weeks away, you might want to start with our overview of international issues. It covers the Copenhagen talks, what's happening in the US, and the often-overlooked issue of climate financing. The other sheets cover science, economics, technology and policy solutions, and communications.
We designed the fact sheets to give Members of Parliament a "cheat sheet" covering what they need to know to face the climate challenge. We sent copies of the sheets to every MP this month. Next, we'll be meeting with as many MPs as we can to talk over the key issues and reporting back on what they have to say.
In the meantime, please let us know what you think about this blog, and about how Canada is doing in tackling climate change. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
