How Canada can restore its reputation on climate change

By John Drexhage on November 19, 2009
John Drexhage, IISD Director of Climate Change and Energy and a former international negotiator on climate change from 1995 to 2001, comments on how Canada can restore its reputation on climate change "The history of Canada's international profile on climate change is unfortunately one of steady deterioration. The tide can be turned, but first we need to recognize how we allowed our credibility to be eroded and what we need to do about it." An abridged version of this commentary appeared in the Opinions section of The Globe and Mail on November 19, 2009.
