Decarbonizing Transportation: Policy Instruments and Impacts with Dr. Mark Purdon

Modeling the Effect of Different Policy Mixes in the Transportation Sector on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Transportation Fuel Mixes

This seminar presents the preliminary results from a techno-economic modeling exercise to assess the effects of different policy instruments and their combination on efforts to decarbonize the transportation sector in Quebec and Ontario.

Northern Canada is home to approximately 120 remote Indigenous communities where the only way in or out is by air. The price of food, especially nutritious or perishable foods, can be extreme—a typical household of two adults and two children spends an average of $2,800 on food per month. Unsurprisingly, between 24 and 68% of each community experiences some form of food insecurity compared to the Canada-wide average of 13%.
