Making environmental claims without being able to back them up or “greenwashing” is more prevalent than we think.

On November 27, we are excited to welcome three experts to discuss: greenwashing; what it is how it has changed, the challenge of AI; why it is a significant problem; some of the consequences; how/why other countries are moving on this; all in the context of why this is a problem for Canada. Our panelists will also discuss Bill C59 (to amend the Canada Competition Act) and private member’s Bill C-372 (an Act to ban fossil fuel advertising).

Dr. Chris Russill is an Associate Professor in Carleton’s School of Journalism and Communication and Academic Director at Re.Climate; Dr. Leah Temper is the Director of Health and Economic Policy at the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE); and Iris Fairley-Beam is an independent researcher based in Vancouver who works to reform the law to prevent greenwashing.

This online event will have closed captioning.
