EXCERPT: "Another member of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB) resigned in early December, bringing to three the number of world-class climate policy advisors the Carney government lost in the week after its sweeping memorandum of understanding with Alberta.

Days before, as The Energy Mix first reported at the time [ https://www.theenergymix.com/breaking-d ... sory-body/ ], University of British Columbia climate scientist Simon Donner resigned as NZAB co-chair. He was followed out the door by climate diplomacy veteran Catherine Abreu, director of the International Climate Politics Hub.

The memorandum of understanding signed Nov. 27 by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith prompted the resignation of Canadian identity minister and lifelong climate advocate Steven Guilbeault, an encyclopedic source of climate and energy expertise and one of the few people in the world who’ve attended all 30 United Nations climate conferences.

NZAB was established in 2021 under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act “to engage with Canadians and give independent advice on how Canada can achieve its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050,” its website states [ https://www.nzab2050.ca/ ]. Its reports and recommendations to government are meant to focus on “concrete solutions that the Government of Canada should implement to ensure that Canada benefits from a carbon-neutral global economy, accelerates the achievement of a carbon-neutral economy, and generates clean prosperity for generations to come.” . . .
