Retrofitting all buildings in Canada to new efficiency standards would create jobs in every community across the country and cut our emissions by 25 percent.
For too long, Canada has dragged its feet on the urgent need to battle climate change, a hesitancy largely caused by concerns over the economy and jobs. It is now clear that we not only must take bold steps in this battle, but we can do this while creating
good jobs and putting Canada at the forefront of the global clean tech economy.
A number of new studies point to the need for this transition and the opportunities it presents. The International Energy Agency’s latest projections show that the global economy will not need any new oil and gas projects to meet our energy needs while we move to a low carbon future. This naturally creates deep concern for workers in the fossil fuel sector who want jobs they can count on.
