Statement on the Release of the Alberta Public Inquiry Into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) issued a statement responding to the Alberta Public Inquiry Into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression and the necessity of a clean energy transition.

• The IISD welcomes the conclusion of the Alberta Public Inquiry, specifically Commissioner Allan's determination that no individuals or organizations committed illegal acts and instead exercised their rights to free speech.
• The IISD advocates for the global phase-out of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies and investment in clean energy to avoid catastrophic climate change, noting that countries with net-zero 2050 targets, including Canada, account for 68% of global GDP.
• The document references the International Energy Agency's latest global energy forecast, which projects a decline in oil demand over the next decade across all scenarios.
