Statement to House of Commons Legislative Committee on Bill C-30
Summary
A statement by Drexhage to the House of Commons Legislative Committee on Bill C-30 regarding the implications of the Kyoto agreement for Canada.
Key insights
- Drexhage asserts that the term 'Kyoto' has contributed to the unnecessary politicization of climate change issues within Canada, causing a focus on specific targets at the expense of recognizing the agreement's role in creating the international policy architecture for climate action.
- The Kyoto agreement provides essential international frameworks for climate change mitigation and adaptation, specifically regarding emissions counting, verification, reporting (including biological sequestration), adaptation work programs, and the rules for flexibility provisions.
