Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has unveiled a $7.3bn plan to help the country meet its carbon emissions target, including significant reductions in the oil-and-gas sector.
Trudeau linked Europe’s effort to move away from Russian oil and natural gas after the country’s invasion of Ukraine to a broader, global push towards renewable energy.
He says Europe Leaders don’t just want to end their dependence on Russian oil and gas but want to accelerate the energy transformation to clean and green power.
The plan announced on Tuesday includes a $2.3bn investment in zero-emission vehicles and related infrastructure, as well as $800m to green Canadian homes and buildings
