#45 Examining the intersection of energy, carbon and climate change in Canada with Nicholas Rivers

Today, we are chatting with Dr. Nicholas Rivers, Professor in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on the economics of Canadian environmental policy, particularly decarbonization policies. Nicholas actively engages in the public discourse on climate change mitigation in Canada and contributes his expertise to the policy research organization, the Canadian Climate Institute, as a member of the Expert Panel on Mitigation.

We had a wide-ranging conversation with Nicholas, covering the basics of carbon accounting, how carbon pricing has been implemented in Canada and other policy options aimed at reducing GHG emissions. We also talked about the opportunities and challenges of electrification, a key element of decarbonization.
