The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

CIC Montréal: Action sur les changements climatiques de COP27 à Montréal – Catherine McKenna

December 8, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm UTC+0

Depuis son départ de la politique fédérale en 2021, Catherine McKenna, ancienne ministre aux changements climatiques, s’engage toujours dans cette lutte à titre de présidente du Groupe d’experts de haut niveau au sujet des engagements de zéro émission nette des entités non étatiques. Ce groupe de 16 experts a produit un rapport phare lors du COP27 en Ēgypte, Integrity Matters: Net Zero Commitments by Businesses, Financial Institutions, Cities and Regions, dans lequel on fait appel à ces instances de tenir parole sur leurs engagements en matière d’atteindre net zéro en GES. Mme McKenna discutera des recommandations du rapport et des rôles des villes, entreprises, gouvernements provinciaux et institutions financières afin d’atteindre les cibles de la carboneutralité.
