SUMMARY:Webinar: Why does a green recovery in Canada need to be fossil fuel subsidy-free?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exploration of how tackling fossil fuel subsidies in Canada can help us recover from COVID-19. The investments that Canada makes today will have long-lasting implications for years to come, with the world needing to accelerate efforts to address the climate and biodiversity crises. The past few months have shown how crucial it is that governments shift funds to important priorities beyond fossil fuels, such as clean energy, healthcare, and social protection.\nThis webinar will illustrate how fossil fuel subsidy reform can support a green and just recovery. We’ll deep dive into how subsidy reform can contribute to Canada’s short-term and long-term national priorities including COVID-19 economic recovery and achieving our climate change targets. We’ll analyze Canada’s existing fossil fuel subsidies and their COVID-19 response so far, in the context of the government’s commitment to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption. Finally, we’ll turn to assess Canada’ progress on the G20 fossil fuel subsidy peer review with Argentina and see how Canada compares internationally.\nThe webinar will feature Canadian and international climate change and fossil fuel subsidy experts, including a representative from the Friends of Fossil Fuel Subsidies Reform ( http://fffsr.org/ ) (FFFSR).\n \n
