Canada’s current industrial carbon price—a minimum of CAD 110/t in 2040—is far below what's needed to meet climate goals. 🆕 analysis finds that the price can be substantially higher while still protecting industry competitiveness. 📗 www.iisd.org/publications... With @naviusresearch.bsky.social
Industrial carbon pricing is a critical tool to ⬇️ Canada's emissions—but the price must be strong to be effective. A high ambition scenario rising to CAD 380/t in 2040 could: ⬇️emissions ⬆️low-carbon investments Report: iisd.org/publications... @naviusresearch.bsky.social | @aaroncosbey.bsky.social
Distributed renewable energy works best when it is tailored to local electricity demand. New research shows how village energy plans can guide system design, storage needs, & lower costs—helping communities choose the right energy solution. Report: www.iisd.org/publications...
☀️ Distributed renewable energy is already cheaper than the grid in rural India—even without subsidies. Implementing these systems based on local grid conditions & demand patterns can provide affordable, reliable energy long-term. New report: www.iisd.org/publications...
