Joe Biden is the next president of the United States. What does that mean for Canada’s climate plans?

President-elect Joe Biden’s climate plan includes $2-trillion in green spending. It also includes a plan to cancel the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, a pledge to rejoin the Paris agreement, a carbon tariff, and ambitions to boost clean-tech through stimulus measures and regulatory changes.

Every proposal has potentially wide-ranging consequences for Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ambitious climate promises.

Adam Radwanski talks to climate policy advisor Sarah Petrevan about what Joe Biden’s election means for Canada’s climate strategy.
