What?
January will see Alberta implement its Climate Leadership Plan and pursue a path for climate change mitigation and adaptation. At the same time, many legal, economic and political challenges remain.
Join the Environmental Law Centre for a discussion of Alberta's first foray into a broadly applied carbon tax, with guest speakers Andrew Leach and Sharon Mascher.
