I’m proud to live in a country where a woman’s right to choose is so strongly supported. But the devastating decision today in the US is a clear reminder that progress should never be taken for granted.

Our commitment to protecting fundamental rights must be unwavering

Thrilled to be in Singapore for the launch of #GFANZ’s Asia-Pacific network. @MikeBloomberg and I are clear: we need GFANZ in Asia and Asia at the heart of GFANZ to support investment, jobs and #NetZero action across this diverse region

A huge step towards a net zero economy was made today thanks to @EmmanuelMacron, @MikeBloomberg & Mary Schapiro who continue to bring the world together. Open and accessible #climate data is a critical next step for #GFANZ—providing accountability for the net zero transition.

Our world is afflicted by a series of simultaneous shocks: climate change, war in Europe, the end of globalization as we know it.

There’s no hiding from these profound changes for us here in Canada. 1/5

Great discussion w/@Diop_IFC, @CHerweijer, @LSEGplc, Anne Richards at @WEF. We need a new financial system to fund an energy transition on the scale of the industrial revolution, at the speed of the digital transformation. #GFANZ

The conduct of #climate policy will directly impact the efficacy of fiscal & monetary policies, and its interactions with the financial system will heavily influence the pace of job and wealth creation

Today’s @IPCC_CH’s report reaffirms the urgency in limiting climate change. We must be resolute. Without accelerated investment in clean energy, more extreme weather will endanger our jobs, health & livelihoods while building problems for our kids and grandkids @UNFCCC #GFANZ 1/2

Investors need clear, comparable, & useful climate disclosure to manage risks & back companies that invest in job creation. That’s why the private sector-led @FSB_TCFD was launched 6 yrs ago in Paris. It’s why the world backed the @IFRSFoundation’s new #ISSB @COP26 in Glasgow 1/2

An encouraging start: >er accountability, sectoral targets, new policies (& clarity on the need for more). It will create more jobs, reduce costs for Cdns, improve our resilience & grow the competitiveness of 🇨🇦 energy & exports 👏 ⁦@s_guilbeault⁩ https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/climatechange/climate-plan/climate-plan-overview/emissions-reduction-2030.html
