"The Importance of
EV Policy in Canada’s
Clean Energy
Future"
Come join us as we welcome Joanna Kyriazis to the webinar series.
Joanna
works to develop and advance policy solutions that address climate
change while promoting clean growth, with a specific focus on clean
transportation. Based in Ottawa, she regularly connects with thought
leaders, industry stakeholders, and policymakers at the federal level.
Before joining Clean Energy Canada, Joanna worked as a management
consultant helping businesses identify and manage climate change risks
and opportunities. She also practiced as a lawyer advising governments
and industry on climate change and energy law.
Canada
has a car conundrum. Canadians drive the most polluting cars in the
world due in part to a growing appetite for SUVs and trucks, and over
the past 20 years, domestic carbon pollution from transportation has
increased by nearly 30%. Over
that same two-decade period, the number of vehicles being manufactured
locally has fallen by 37%. Once a global top-five auto manufacturer,
Canada now doesn’t even crack the top 10. Joanna will discuss Clean Energy Canada’s recent work on the solution to Canada’s car conundrum—zero-emission vehicles—and how, with a deliberate approach for drivers and industry, Canada’s can both cut pollution and set our auto sector up to compete in the global economy.
