Overview

While Covid-19 has likely caused a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, we know the structural issues that caused emissions to rise in 2018 continue to exists. Going back to business as usual will not be an option as emissions would continue to get worse.

What happened and how can we prevent this trend from continuing?

Sarah Buchanan from Environmental Defence discussed the impacts that structural systems have on increasing our GHG emissions in Ontario. For more details Read her blog here.

‘Why are Ontario’s GHGs going up instead of down?’ was held on May 27, 2020. A recording of the Webinar can be found on our Youtube Channel here
