“Policy like CAFA would simply bring Canada up to speed.” theenergymix.com/banks-poor-cli…

Today, over 55 climate organizations highlight that oil and gas should not be labelled as 'sustainable' under a Canadian Taxonomy.

I was just invited to testify tomorrow to the Canadian Senate about the Climate Aligned Finance Act #CAFA .

Wish me luck!
