Dabrusin defends Canada's climate record in advance of UN climate conference
Dabrusin said Canada remains committed to Paris goals as it prepares to co-host a methane meeting with 159 countries.
- Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin defended Canada's climate record on Monday ahead of attending the United Nations climate conference in Turkey this week, pointing to progress on methane emissions and electrification.
- Critics argue Canada's reputation is vulnerable after the government abandoned a 2021 pledge to ban thermal coal exports while domestically phasing out the fuel. Environmental Defence associate director Julia Levin called the practice hypocritical.
- Dabrusin cited Canada's electrification plans to which Ottawa committed $50 billion in its latest budget, mostly through tax credits. She argued the grid improvements allow the country to "switch to electrification, which needs to be done to reduce our emissions."
- Bloc Québécois climate critic Patrick Bonin told The Canadian Press that Canada should step away from the Powering Past Coal Alliance, calling Canada a "delinquent at the head of this initiative."
- At COP31, Dabrusin will convene a ministerial meeting of the Global Methane Pledge, a coalition of 159 countries reducing emissions 30 per cent below 2020 levels by 2030. Canada faces anticipated criticism over recent policy shifts.
