Fighting Climate Change From the Local Level

October 2, 2017
Guest

Hon. David Heurtel

Québec Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change

In the lead up to Climate Week and the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the Canadian provinces of Québec and Ontario and the U.S. state of California signed an agreement to link their carbon markets, a move that will create the second largest market of its kind.

To discuss how local governments are tackling energy and climate change issues, Jason Bordoff speaks with Québec Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change, David Heurtel. Several issues they cover include:

  • The rise of cap and trade in Canada and lessons for the U.S.
  • Aligning local and national visions to fight climate change
  • Hydro-Québec and partnerships in the U.S.
