SUMMARY:EARTH INDEX: The Green Industrial Wave
DESCRIPTION:Canada’s manufacturers generate more than 10% of total GDP, export more than $354 billion in goods each year and employ 1.7 million Canadians. Along with these benefits, manufacturing has a sizable footprint. “Heavy industry” consumes 80% of the sector’s energy and emits more than 85% of total manufacturing GHG emissions. To shrink these emissions on an ambitious schedule, the transition to a sustainable production system will be led by a shift from commodities to services, and includes dematerialization and lightweighting, reuse and recycling, the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy, the elimination of toxic by-products and pollutants, and a redoubling of efficiency. This session will explore the smart, dynamic policies that can help us reduce manufacturing GHG emissions by 8 Mt per year by 2030, support 23,000 good new jobs and simultaneously make Canadian companies leaders in exportable low-carbon technology, as per the Corporate Knights Build Back Better model.\nModerator:\nToby Heaps\nCEO, Corporate Knights\nOpening Remarks:\nThe Hon.
