The IPCC Climate Report Uncovered

<p>The gang is back, and it's been a huge week in energy. For the first time ever, the US government might be requiring major companies to report their climate risks and emissions. This is a really big change. Governments, regulators, and investors have been pushing for quite a few years now for companies to do more to disclose their climate risks. But this would be the first time in US companies would be required to report risks in a standardized way, including greenhouse gas emissions. </p><p>On the show this week, Ed is joined by regular <a href="http://amymyersjaffe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amy Myers Jaffe</a>, Director of the climate policy lab at Tufts University. We're also honoured to welcome first-time guest <a href="https://apps.ualberta.ca/directory/person/aleach" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Andrew Leach</a>. Andrew is an energy and environmental economist who is currently a professor at the University of Alberta. Andrew is a native Canadian who has decades of experience in Canadian climate policy, that's why he leads the discussion on Canada announcing an emissions reduction plan and what that entails. What impact is it going to have on Canada's economy? What can the US learn from Canada's climate policies? </p><p>In addition, the team will be covering the new updated <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-cycle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IPCC report</a>. What information in the report has been updated? What new research is being used? The report covers Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability. What does this actually mean? </p><p><br></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
