A little over 2 years ago Rosa Galvez introduced the ‘Climate-Aligned Finance Act’ into the Canadian Senate. Most Canadians want their investments to align with climate action. Time for Ottawa to deliver.

RIP Ed Broadbent, a lion for justice and democracy. I will always remember the one condition you made as the first emeritus Corporate Knights advisory board member: never use the word 'very,' because if something is important you don't need to say 'very important.'

This is an interesting chart from Corporate Knights . Canada's big pension funds would have made more money w/o fossil fuels and even more had they invested in green companies over past 10 years.

A note from our publisher Toby Heaps from our fall magazine: Slow and steady will not win the climate race.

'The name of the game on #climateaction is speed. We need to go faster and we can,' writes Heaps.

This was the clear message from world leaders today at #ParisPeaceForum2023 1/6

Have you also read “EV sales are slowing “?

It’s misinformation. In Europe year-on-year BEV sales are 63% higher than last year between January and August.
