In 1961, U.S. president John F. Kennedy said: “This nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.” That moonshot was successful in more ways than one. In 1969, NASA succeeded in landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth. More importantly, it brought immense pride to America, stimulated technology development with enormous benefits for the U.S.
Global warming is the defining challenge of our time: how do we achieve net zero carbon emissions in this decade to stop irreversible global warming? Make no mistake: this is a daunting problem. Energy is essential to life. We use energy to build, light, heat and cool our homes, grow our food, secure and clean our water, and move food, goods, people and information.
Canada has a major role to play in this transition. We are a wealthy nation with a strong science and engineering base, and we are a desirable destination for highly skilled workers. But we are also among the top three emitters of carbon per capita on the planet. We have a clear responsibility to take a leadership role, working with other nations, to bring together scientists, working across borders, to solve the challenges of getting to net zero by 2030.
