Speech of The Minister of Climate Change

[ZouZS3]

By 2025, clean techs contribution to Canadas GDP is expected to grow to nearly $80billion from $26.7billion in 2016. And this year, global clean technology activity is expected to exceed $2.5trillion. Markets are already acting. Smart money is going towards forward-thinking actors. Weve reached a point where investors and businesspeople, producers, and consumers have the smarts, the desire, and the plans to turn this global environmental challenge to our economic advantage. This is our window of opportunity to act. In the coming weeks, the Government of Canada will be tabling the first-ever Emissions Reduction Plan under the recently passed net-zero legislation. This Emissions Reduction Plan will provide us with a roadmap towards our goal to cut our emissions by 40 to 45percent below 2005 levels by 2030. In agriculture, there are transformative new technologies that make biogas out of farm waste and manure, and digital technologies that farmers are using more and more to precisely measure and apply fertilizers to their crops. https://tdpelmedia.com/speech-for-the-honourable-steven-guilbeault-minister-of-environment-and-climate-change-appearance-at-the-canadian-club
