Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says a new agreement signed Thursday to co\u002Doperate with India on climate action is an opportunity for Canada to export…
But the agreement does not mention coal power, despite Canada leading a global movement to end the burning of coal for electricity and India being the second biggest producer and consumer of coal on the planet.
“When you look at some of the challenges that India has in terms of growing energy demand, growing population, the challenges with poverty alleviation, it would be very difficult for me to point fingers at India,” he said. In 2017, Canada and the United Kingdom started the international Powering Past Coal alliance, which now has 48 countries on board. The agreement aims for developed nations to eliminate coal power by 2030, and every other nation by 2050.
Coal accounts for more than half of India’s power and emissions from coal almost tripled from 2000 to 2020. Coal is now responsible for almost half of India’s total carbon footprint.
