The Climate is Changing, Why Aren't We?: An Exploration of Climate Change Policy in Ontario, Canada with Highlighted Case Studies

Abstract

If we accept the climate change predictions projected in the Canada’s Changing Climate Report (CCCR-2019) it could be strongly argued that with an ever-growing population and an increasing demand for fossil fuels, the future is going to present challenges to the current way of life for the human beings on this planet. Drawing on selected examples from climate change policy, my presentation will examine how far we have gone in addressing the issues of anthropogenic (GHG) emissions, providing case studies from Canada and, more specifically, the Province of Ontario. What are the challenges facing citizens of Ontario, Canada; what are the solutions being offered by our varying levels of government; and do those solutions adequately address the challenges?
