Climate Change & Energy
Energy services are everywhere around us, they keep us warm at night, power our industries and have fostered economic development that has greatly improved the standard of living in Canada. However, our current energy consumption is unsustainable.
Climate change is a direct result of an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal. Although developed countries are almost solely responsible for the problem of climate change and still produce, by far, the bulk of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, climate change affects developing countries and the most vulnerable communities in the world the hardest.
