Only with understanding and buy-in can the necessary changes be implemented,” the author was quoted as saying by Canadian nonprofit Resilience.Read more: Canada Unveils New Carbon Management StrategyHughes advocates for radical energy conservation as a key strategy, emphasizing the importance of reducing energy demand through efficiency and behavioral changes.The report scrutinizes the assumptions underlying the CER projections, pointing out optimistic expectations and the need for more realistic assessments.It underscores the urgency of shifting away from fossil fuels, as current reliance drives emissions and economic growth.However, achieving Canada’s net-zero goal requires not only technological advancements but also substantial shifts in energy consumption patterns and policy frameworks, the report concludes. 0 0 0 Canada Energy RegulatorCanada net zero 2050Canadian Centre for Policy AlternativesLeave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
