Trudeau Says Russia’s War in Ukraine Speeds Up Energy Transition

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will accelerate, rather than undermine, his country’s efforts to transition away from fossil fuels.

Speaking Tuesday at a climate conference in Ottawa, Trudeau said Canada is doing more to “bend the curve” on emissions than any other stable democracy -- efforts that will allow it to replace Russia as a cleaner and more reliable producer of resources.
