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

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) welcomes the findings of the Alberta Public Inquiry Into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns, which concluded that no individuals or organizations committed wrongdoing or illegal acts, but rather exercised their rights to free speech. The IISD reaffirms its commitment to advocating for the phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies and a clean energy transition, noting that countries with 2050 net-zero targets represent 68% of global GDP and that IEA forecasts project a decline in oil demand.

• The Alberta Public Inquiry Into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns found no evidence of illegal activity or wrongdoing by the individuals or organizations involved, concluding that they exercised their rights to free speech.
• The IISD notes that countries with targets to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, including Canada, account for 68% of global GDP.
• According to the latest global energy forecast from the International Energy Agency, all scenarios project a decrease in oil demand over the next decade.
