The International Energy Agency’s latest projection is casting new doubt on Canadian megaprojects like the Trans Mountain expansion that experts say should force a reckoning in the country’s oil industry.

The International Energy Agency warned new investment in clean energy was needed to “jolt the energy system onto a new set of rails.”

The production of steel, cement, and ammonia together emit about one-fifth of all human-caused CO2. Technologies are emerging that promise to decarbonize these problem industries, but analysts warn big challenges remain before the processes can be cleaned up.

With the federal election behind us, there are three big fights either already underway or just on the horizon where change is possible in battling the climate crisis, writes 350's Cameron Fenton.

Canada’s National Observer asked federal Liberal Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson about critical issues in the upcoming election, and how his party would respond to the climate crisis.

If elected, the federal NDP would identify fossil fuel subsidies, eliminate them “once and for all,” and spend the money on the renewable energy sector, Leader Jagmeet Singh said on the campaign trail Monday morning.

It’s hard to miss as commissioner Steve Allan’s inquiry into anti-Alberta energy campaigns tries to spin the conspiracy straw it was handed into political gold, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Quebec’s environment minister recently cited environmental concerns as the reason to axe a proposed multibillion-dollar LNG project, but a glut of natural gas around the world is pushing some to ask if the industry is a dead end for Canada.

CEOs of fossil fuel companies coming to Ottawa cap in hand for $50 billion of subsidies may be Canada's last chance to put the oilsands on a path to long-term environmental and financial sustainability, writes energy and climate journalist Markham Hislop.

Professors at Ontario's three largest universities are demanding their soon-to-be-merged pension fund stop investing in fossil fuels, manage divestment of existing assets and set clear and transparent targets towards decarbonizing the fund over the next two decades. 

To hear the International Energy Agency warning about the dangers of the climate crisis is a game-changer, writes Greenpeace Canada senior energy strategist Keith Stewart.

The Alberta government is rebuffing an influential International Energy Agency plan to reach net-zero carbon pollution as an “unreasonable” and “unfeasible” proposal “driven by activists.”

New wind and solar power projects in China, Europe and the U.S. spurred a 45 per cent rise in the rate of new renewable energy capacity, according to the International Energy Agency.

The world burns 65 percent more coal today than it did in 2000, according to the IEA’s new report.

A surge in U.S. and Canadian oil production over the last decade has added the equivalent of “one Russia or one Saudi Arabia” to the markets — pushing the planet farther away from ever getting a grip on its pollution and limiting climate change.
