Paving the Way for National Climate Change Leadership: Provincial and National Actions in Canada

By John Drexhage, Jenny Gleeson on April 8, 2008

IISD's John Drexhage and Jenny Gleeson outline the various regional, provincial and national level climate change actions taking place in Canada in the February 2008 issue of EM magazine, the journal of the Air & Waste Management Association.
