La COP26 un moment charnière pour le Canada et le monde entier

The document emphasizes the urgency of COP26, noting that global warming is occurring faster than expected and that Canada is warming twice as fast as the global average. It highlights the human cost, citing 569 deaths in British Columbia from a heatwave, and the economic risk, noting that climate-related catastrophes have cost Canada 5-6% of its annual GDP growth since 2010. The author argues that achieving global carbon neutrality by 2050 is essential to limit warming to 1.5 °C and protect Canada's export economy as global investments shift away from carbon-intensive sectors.

• Global warming is accelerating faster than previously anticipated, with extreme weather occurring across all continents and destructive tipping points approaching.
• Canada is warming at an average rate twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to devastating effects such as floods, fires, and heatwaves.
• Failure to drastically reduce carbon pollution could lead to at least 250,000 annual deaths worldwide after 2030, according to the World Health Organization.
• Climate-related catastrophic events have significantly impacted Canada's economy, representing approximately 5% to 6% of annual GDP growth since 2010, compared to a previous average of 1%.
• To limit warming to 1.5 °C and avoid catastrophic tipping points, the world must reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
