Acting on Climate Change: Solutions by Canadian Scholars
A scholarly consensus on science-based, viable solutions for greenhouse gas reduction.
Acting on Climate Change: Solutions by Canadian Scholars presents ten key policy orientations, illustrated by specific climate actions, that could be adopted by Canada to transition toward a low-carbon society.
This position paper identifies policy orientations that could help cities transition to low-carbon economy. For example,
• Rapidly adopt low-carbon transportation strategies.
• Integrate landscape, land use, transportation and energy infrastructure planning
• Policies at multiple scales to ensure climate change mitigation.
• Support evolution of the building sector toward a carbon neutral or carbon-positive sector
Sustainable Canada Dialogues has mobilized over 60 Canadian scholars from every province, representing climate change expertise in areas from engineering to sociology.
