SUMMARY:COP 26 and Net Zero’s Dangerous Distractions
DESCRIPTION:Our next event will be a jointly sponsored virtual event with Climate Action Muskoka (CAM), Seniors for Climate Action Now! (SCAN!) Education Committee and Environment Haliburton (EH!)\n​After a brief presentation about COP26 by SCAN members Gail Greer and David Robertson, Marc Lee will talk about the dangers of a Net Zero approach to climate mitigation.\nWhat is COP26?  The Glasgow Climate Change Conference, also known as Conference Of the Parties (COP) 26, is the 26th United Nations Climate Change conference. It is scheduled to be held in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, between 31 October and 12 November 2021, under the presidency of the United Kingdom.\n​\nMarc Lee is a Senior Economist with the British Columbia office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Marc joined the CCPA in 1998, and is one of Canada’s leading progressive commentators on economic and social policy issues. Marc led the CCPA’s Climate Justice Project (CJP), which published a wide range of research on fair and effective approaches to climate action through integrating principles of social justice.\nMarc continues to write about climate and energy policy, as well as strategies for affordable housing. Over his career, Marc has tracked federal and provincial budgets and economic trends, publishing on a wide range of topics from poverty and inequality to globalization and international trade to public services and regulation.\n​Marc was “classically trained,” with an MA in Economics from Simon Fraser University and a BA in Economics from the University of Western Ontario. But most of the time he argues against the conventional wisdom in economics and policy debates. Marc is the past chair of the Progressive Economics Forum, a national network of heterodox economists, and contributes regularly to Relentlessly Progressive Economics, a blog of the PEF.\n
