It’s not just Trump. Canada’s climate policies face a bumpy road post-Trudeau

As President Donald Trump heats up a North American trade war, Canada is already facing big challenges within its own government. Next week, the governing Liberal party will announce Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's successor. And later this year, the country will hold a general election. Rick Smith, president of the Canadian Climate Institute, joins Zero to discuss what shape the country's climate ambitions might take under new leadership, how Canada can deal with the Trump challenge, and why he expects meaningful climate policy in Canada to be driven by provinces and municipalities.  Explore further: Past episode about the UK’s climate goals with Chris Stark, Head of UK's Mission for Clean Power  Past episode about Canada's carbon pricing Past episode with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green.
