Dr. Mark Jaccard, professor in Resource Environmental Management at SFU, former Chair of the BC Utilities Commission and an award winning author of numerous books on climate and energy policy, critiques where Canadian governments have gone wrong in fighting global warming, highlights policies which can reduce emissions, and explains why BC's new carbon tax is such an important milestone.

You should come to this talk if you want to be able to distinguish a market mechanism from a regulation or voluntary initiative and understand which one can reduce emissions most efficiently.

Bring along a friend who is cynical that any government has the ability to reduce emissions, or who thinks that the solution to this problem lies outside the world of public policy all together.
