The Alberta government hired a career oil and gas insider to help shape climate policy in its department of Environment and Protected Areas.

New data shows Canada's greenhouse gas emissions are creeping up but still remain below pre-pandemic levels. But with oil and gas production pushing the sector's emissions higher, all eyes are on Ottawa's long-awaited, and now delayed, emissions cap policy.

An Alberta environmental group opposes a solar power project over concerns it would damage antelope habitat and block their migration.

Donald Trump's petro-masculinity is certainly getting political oxygen from Conservative leaders in Canada.

The Alberta government remains all hat and no cattle when it comes to climate change, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Alberta's new climate plan drew criticism this week for its lack of interim emissions reduction targets, but proponents of carbon capture and storage technology say it's important to be realistic about how quickly major projects can be deployed.

Shareholders of Canada’s large oilsands companies took home three times more money last year than in 2019, according to a new analysis, while those same companies asked for more taxpayer money to invest in their climate pledges.

An energy-focused think tank says Indigenous energy sovereignty in Canada's North is "absolutely critical and fundamental" to addressing climate change, but more support is needed.
