The relationship between the US and Canada, each of which is the other’s principal source of imported energy, has become increasingly fraught in recent months. Canada and the US have imposed tariffs on cars, metals, and other exports and imports on each other. At the end of April, Canadian voters elected Mark Carney Prime Minister and the Liberal Party into power, the result of a campaign built largely around opposition to Trump administration policies driving these actions. Carney has spoken publicly about reducing Canada’s reliance on US energy by building relationships with Europe, and, possibly, China.
The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA hosted a rapid response briefing with Robert Johnston, CGEP senior director of research; Jon Elkind, CGEP senior research scholar; and Chris Bataille, CGEP global fellow. They discussed the implications of the Canadian election for the US-Canada energy relationship, the global energy transition, and how the Carney administration’s priorities may influence the increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape emerging around the world.

As the host of COP30, Brazil has an unprecedented platform to demonstrate its climate leadership.
The global clean energy economy today looks starkly different than it did even 10 years ago. Not only have production and deployment of clean energy technologies expanded significantly, the geographic distribution of clean energy manufacturers, resellers, and end-users has shifted dramatically.
Throughout much of the modern era, limiting or disrupting the flow of energy was a highly effective tool of global power.
