Canada is taking action to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. The country's third-largest source of emissions, buildings will be transformed into clean, affordable, and energy-efficient spaces. The Government of Canada, together with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), is investing $85.5 million

Climate change, caused by massive emissions of CO2 worldwide, necessitates swift and decisive action from governments. However, investing in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a misguided approach, one that fails to reduce overall emissions. Instead, CCUS is being used to justify increased oil production, primarily through enhanced oil
