"Greenwashing" includes promises

 

  "Waiting to Launch" is a new book examining the gap between Canadian oilsands companies’ climate pledges and their actions. It has been over a year since the Pathways Alliance, an industry grouping representing some 95% of production in Canada’s oilsands, announced its commitment to get oilsands operations to net-zero emissions by 2050. Yet despite the pledges and the industry-wide record high profit levels, no significant decarbonization investment decisions have been made by the Alliance’s members. To ensure that Albertans and Canadians do not pay the price for this in the long term, the members of the Pathways Alliance must avoid any further delay in making investment decisions and transforming their climate promises into reality.Jan Gorski & Eyab Al-Aini, Pembina Institute
