This week Professor Imre Szeman assumed the role of the Green Party of Canada’s senior Climate Critic, a role within the party’s Shadow Cabinet for Environment and Climate Change. It is not an elected position but one that allows Szeman and other experts in the shadow cabinet to voice critical perspectives on Canada’s climate present and future.
According to the Green Party announcement, “The Shadow Cabinet of the Green Party of Canada is an alternative cabinet which shadow/mirror government portfolios in most cases.

Szeman adds that he expects his role will lead to the creation of future opportunities for students and student research in coming years.
