Canada coming up so short is one of the reasons why rich, industrialized countries continue to fail to deliver on the $100 billion per year in assistance for developing countries to address climate change, a commitment first made 12 years ago and reiterated in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Finally F-words: fossil fuels.

COP28 must deliver on energy and equity, and the Government of Canada must do its part: The litmus test for whether COP28 is successful or not will be whether countries agree to a plan for an equitable phase out fossil oil and gas production. Fossil fuels are causing the climate crisis. That’s impacted other nations.
