Details of Alberta’s new climate change policy will be released Sunday, one day before Premier Rachel Notley meets with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa.
Notley and Environment Minister Shannon Phillips have scheduled a news conference at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Telus World of Science in Edmonton. CBC will live stream the announcement.
The prime minister has invited provincial and territorial leaders to Ottawa Monday to discuss Canada’s climate change plans before an international climate conference begins in Paris.
The Alberta strategy is based on information gathered by a five-member climate change panel chaired by Andrew Leach, academic director of energy programs at the University of Alberta School of Business.
The panel held public consultation sessions in Edmonton and Calgary in September. They also gathered input from industry, municipalities, academics and First Nations and Metis communities.
Notley will take the strategy to Paris for COP21, the United Nations Climate Change talks which start Nov. 30.
