Canada's proposed methane regulations could create ~34,000 jobs while tackling climate change 🇨🇦 Our analysis shows this is a clear opportunity—jobs in the west for field ops, manufacturing in the east, billions in recovered revenue. Methane Mitigation: A win for the Climate & a win for the Economy

🤔 Shifting to a low-emissions economy that also delivers decent work, protects livelihoods & leaves no one behind. 🙌🏽 We've recently been published in the prestigious Nature Communications (with an international team from multiple institutions) looking at just that. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The US is building a record amount of electricity generation capacity in 2025 to meet rapidly growing demand. And its overwhelmingly clean energy, with a bit of gas. Meanwhile the Trump administration wants to stop permitting of new solar and wind projects.

Fantastic research from MCET colleagues @ifal78.bsky.social & Suzi Kerr in @natcomms.nature.com! Their paper outlines how to overcome 5 key challenges for a just labor transition. We need proactive, inclusive planning that puts workers and communities first. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new piece by @terzibus.bsky.social et al. in @natureportfolio.nature.com identifies 5 key challenges to making the energy transition a just labor transition 1. Job/skills mismatch 2. Policy mismatch in the Global South 3. Informal workers ignored 4. Failed place-based policies 5. Lack of finance 🧵

Opinion: Methane mitigation could be Canada's next growth industry by @jmorenocruz.bsky.social edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

The ESSD update on key climate indicators that came out recently paints a rather sobering picture for climate policy. Nevertheless, some developments offer reasons to be optimistic that we can still achieve a transition to climate neutrality.
