Business leaders discuss Canada’s clean growth challenges and opportunities
Toronto, January 13, 2022 – Canada has committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Getting there will require trillions of dollars of investment, significant changes in consumer behaviour and a national strategy to guide the transition toward a cleaner economy. It will also require close collaboration between industry and government to enable radical innovation and develop breakthrough solutions to our climate challenges.
In his final address as chair of the Business Council of Canada, Don Lindsay, President and CEO of Teck Resources, will outline how the public and private sectors can work together to ensure Canada succeeds and thrives as it transitions to a low-emissions future.
The Canadian Club Toronto event will also include a discussion involving Don and three executives representing sectors that each play a key role in Canada’s transition:
- Karn Manhas – Founder and CEO, Terramera
- Dave McKay – President and CEO, RBC
- Susannah Pierce – President and Country Chair, Shell Canada
