SESSIONS

Prince Edward Islands Pathway to NetZero

Prince Edward Island has aggressive climate goals with the ultimate goal of reaching NetZero by 2040, 10 full years ahead of the Paris targets. Proposal: how we got here, how the goals were created, and how we are implementing them as well as what opportunities have been created for business because of these goals. Prince Edward Island is unique from many perspectives but our attack on Climate change is second to none in the world. The solutions that we are currently implementing are being adapted for our entire country already and we expect our future actions will be used by Canada and the rest of the world to help meet their own climate targets. Because we are moving so quickly in our climate action, we are a model for any jurisdiction that plans to tackle climate change head-on. The ability to get the public to buy into climate change and climate action is one of the major successes Prince Edward Island has had to date with its climate action. Others can learn from us how we were able to convince the general public that taking action would benefit them and we were able to quickly give them tangible results to show the direct benefits to their homes with our actions.
