Canada Welcomes the International Clean Energy Community to Vancouver in 2019COPENHAGEN, Denmark and MALMÖ, Sweden, May 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Canada is committed to the global transition to a low-carbon economy. Transforming how we produce, use and transport energy will enable us to fight climate change while also supporting strong economic growth. Parliamentary Secretary Kim Rudd, on behalf of the Honourable Jim Carr, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, today announced that Canada will host the 10th annual Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM10) and 4th annual Mission Innovation (MI4) in Vancouver, British Columbia, the week of May 27, 2019. To set the stage for CEM/MI 2019, Canada will contribute $1 million to the CEM Secretariat to support its continued work and efforts to advance clean energy globally. PS Rudd attended this year's CEM/MI Ministerial, which was co-hosted by the Nordic countries and the European Commission. CEM and MI are global forums to advance the development and deployment of affordable clean energy, technology and innovation worldwide. They bring together energy ministers from approximately 24 member countries and the European Union, and provide a robust stage to accelerate global clean energy innovation and uptake. PS Rudd announced Canada's participation in the following initiatives and campaigns:
"Canada will continue to work with partner countries, international organizations and the private sector where clean energy innovation can drive economic growth and help build a low-carbon future. And we need to accelerate these efforts, through strengthened multilateral collaboration, if we are to meet our climate change commitments and enable a clean energy future."
