Bridging the Gulf highlights the connection between the choices made by commuters in Ontario, and the negative impacts of oil extraction in North America in light of the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and ongoing ecological impacts from oil sands development. It focuses exclusively on personal transportation — how Ontarians get around every day — and presents five key actions to reduce oil demand based on policy changes that are already underway in the province.

Five international case studies show how communities in the global south are adapting to climate change. The case studies focus on:

• Drought-affected communities in Kenya
• Chronic food insecurity in Zimbabwe
• Adapting agriculture to extreme weather in Bolivia
• Environmental stress and risk assessment in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
• National Adaptation Plans of Action in Malawi and Niger

This briefing note outlines key information about greenhouse gas emissions from Canada's oil sands today and in the future. Recent attention to the issue of greenhouse gases in Canada and the U.S. prompted the Pembina Institute to outline key issues in more detail.

Pembina's analysis finds the proposed federal regulations for tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles and light trucks may have little to no effect on reducing climate change pollution.

The Clean Energy Coalition objects to the amendments that Capital Power is seeking to the AENV Approval and AUC Approval for its Genesee 3 power plant expansion.

The views of more than 5,000 sustainability thought leaders in Canada, the U.S. and Europe are outlined in The 2010 Global Thought Leader Survey on Sustainability.

This updated backgrounder explains why Canada should support global climate action at the G8 and G20 summits in June. 

In May 2010 U.S. Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman published a draft piece of legislation called the American Power Act, which would set U.S. national greenhouse gas emission targets and establish an economy-wide cap-and-trade system. This briefing note describes some of the provisions of particular significance for Canada.

Les gouvernements municipaux et les autres gouvernements locaux ont la possibilité - et la responsabilité - de prendre des mesures concrètes pour réduire les émissions de GES sur leur territoire, et plus particulièrement celles reliées aux transports.

Canada's role as host of the G8 summit in June 2010 is an opportunity to make progress on climate change and give much-needed momentum to global negotiations toward creating a lower-carbon economy.

An open letter sent from a coalition of environmental groups to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama calls on both leaders to honour their commitments to act on climate change at the G8 and G20 meetings this summer.

Making key improvements to personal transportation policies would result in greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to taking one million vehicles off the road and also reduce driving time for commuters.
