As Canadians, it’s time to unite behind energy and climate policies that truly work for everyone.

The Canadian Energy and Climate Nexus / Le Lien Canadien de L’Energie et du Climat believes that a climate friendly energy system is both possible and essential. As an unbiased, non-profit organization, we aim to actively participate in collaborative problem solving when tackling the various and complex issues that affect Canada’s energy and climate challenges.

𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬: Federal Funding Announcement - Thunder Bay’s Canada Games Complex

Last week, The Government of Canada announced an investment of over $2.3 million to federally fund new improvements to the Canada Games Complex in Thunder Bay, ON. The contribution is made through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) Program.

Focused on improving existing infrastructure and creating more publicly-accessible community buildings within high-need areas, the GICB program aims to make the updates and additions more energy-efficient, sustainable, and high performing. It is also a significant component of Canada’s Strengthened Climate Plan.

The targeted improvements made to the Canada Games Complex will provide residents of Thunder Bay with a modernized, accessible, and inclusive space enabling both youth and families to participate in recreational activities and opportunities within their community.

Upgrades will be made to the boiler plant, digital control system, and change rooms, reducing the facility’s energy-usage and emissions. Once completed, the facility’s energy consumption is set to be reduced by 23%, with emissions dropping by 270 tonnes annually.

𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚: General Fusion

Nuclear Fusion occurs when two or more small and light nuclei (e.g., hydrogen) slam together and combine to create a larger, heavier nucleus (e.g., helium). During the process, a significant amount of energy is produced, and it can be utilized to generate electricity and power.

General Fusion, a company based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, has internationally recognized fusion laboratories in Burnaby (BC), London (UK), and Oakridge, Tennessee (USA).

Through a rigorous testing program, the company has completed over 200,000 plasma tests to date, and has even commissioned the world’s largest and most powerful plasma injector known as PI3.

𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: The Inclusion of Natural Gas + Nuclear Energy in Europe's Taxonomy

Earlier this month, the European Union (EU) voted to keep certain usages of both natural gas and nuclear energy in the taxonomy of sustainable energy sources under specific circumstances.

The taxonomy is Europe’s classification system for defining “environmentally sustainable economic activities” for groups such as investors, policymakers, and companies.The regulation is a component of the European Commission’s action plan for financing sustainable growth, boosting green investments and preventing “greenwashing”.

While some have expressed concerns over the decision, stating it could become another obstacle for the region in achieving climate goals by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050, others have suggested that European leaders may be recognizing the time, complexity, and ongoing nature of the energy transition by taking action with the small steps required to achieve those very goals.

𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: The 15th Conference of the Parties (COP 15)

Last August, the Secretariat for the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) announced that the second portion of The 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) is set to take place in Montréal, Canada from December 5th - 17th 2022.

Originally, the event was scheduled to take place in Kunming, China in October of 2020, but was postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision was then made to split the conference into two parts - with the first portion successfully taking place in Kunming in October of 2021.

𝐒𝐨 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 "𝐂𝐎𝐏𝟏𝟓"?

COP15 will be an international event, bringing thousands of governmental delegates from across the world together to discuss and agree to a new set of initiatives aimed at protecting nature and halting the loss of biodiversity.

The Government of Canada plans to “advocate for international collaboration on an ambitious post-2020 global biodiversity framework, targeting 30% of lands and oceans conserved by 2030.”
