� 151: Waste-‐Free Ontario Act
� 135: Energy Statute Law Amendment Act

Climate Cap and Trade
� Climate Change Mitigation and Low-‐Carbon Economy Act� Legal requirement to cut GHGs, from 1990 baseline:
� 15% by 2020. � 37% by 2030. � 80% by 2050!
� Fossil fuel costs to rise� $1.9 B/year to Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account
� To be spent as per Action Plan

Why 80%?
� IPCC 5 computer model� Consistent with 2 degrees?� What’s not in the model?
� Model may be way too optimistic…

Circular Economy
� Waste-‐Free Ontario Act� Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act
� Individual producer responsibility� All forms of waste, not just packaging� No more diversion monopolies
� Waste Diversion Transition Act� Blue Box stranded assets?

Energy
� Energy Statute Law Amendment Act� Amends:
� Green Energy Act� Disclosure of energy and water use� Access to usage data� Conservation plans
� Electricity Act� Long term energy planning
� Ontario Energy Board Act

80% fossil fuel dependent

80% reduction by 2050?
� Climate mitigation is mostly about energy� Reduction targets are total consumption, not per capita� Population to rise >50%� Reduce fossil fuels from 80% to 10% or less� In 34 years!
� And we’re starting late

Energy use in Ontario
12
• Total use f lat from 2007 to 2014• Energy use per capita down 7%
![Page 13: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Electricity use is down• Use down 6% from 2007 (8% excluding embedded gen.), summer peak down 17%• 91% low emission
• Our smallest, cleanest major energy source
13
![Page 14: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transportation fuel: use is up
• No dedicated conservation funding• Government targets: no action (10% Low Carbon Fuel Standard), or poor performance (land use; only 1% of the way towards 2020 EV target)
14
![Page 15: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Natural gas: use is up
• Twice as much energy use as electricity, but 1/6 the conservation spending ($66M in 2014)
• Weather impact (e.g. 2014 “polar vortex”)� Price?

Policy bottlenecks
� Fossil Fuel Subsidies� Inadequate data� Lopsided focus
16
![Page 17: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
End to fossil fuel subsidies?
17
• $628 M in Ontario tax breaks for fossil fuels
• $650 B world
• At cross-‐purposes to cap and trade
• G7 pledge to eliminate by 2025
![Page 18: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Transparency
� Poor energy use data� Mandatory reporting of energy use for 15,000 buildings in the Broader Public Sector (O. Reg. 397/11)
� Who are the energy hogs?

Large variations in energy intensity
� Buildings with the same function perform very differently…

![Page 21: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lopsided funding

Transportation: what matters most
� Largest source of emissions but toughest to tackle� Key levers:
� Land use planning (reduce travel distances)� Transit/shared transportation (reduce vehicle km per person)� Cleaner/more efficient vehicles (reduce energy/emissions intensity)
22
![Page 23: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Which risks?
� Mitigation� Energy
� Adaptation� Water
� Divesting from energy sector not enough
24
![Page 25: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Getting ready for massive disruptions
� 100 year storm every 10 minutes?
� wildfires� floods� droughts� storms� heat waves
� Who’s insurable?
25
![Page 26: Energy Use in Ontario for Investors](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042707/58d0468b1a28ab8e5b8b6525/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
More Gradual, Perhaps
� Sea level rise (what’s in danger?)� Coastal erosion� Loss of coral reefs� Salt water intrusion� Loss of ice roads� Heat and water stress� Loss of species� Diseases and pests� What will still grow?� Uncontrollable migration?
� When will the Arctic be ice free?

Climate-‐Related Financial Risk Disclosure
� Financial Stability Board Task Force� inadequate disclosure of climate risk a threat to world financial
system
� Curtis Ravenel meetings in Toronto� Koskie Minsky opinion on fiduciary duty� Our letters to OSC and CAPSA:
� Ontario needs to catch up
27

Conclusions
� Wrenching shifts in the rules
� Huge changes needed in energy, some already happening
� Climate-‐related financial risks in most sectors
� Financial industry role in the transition? – be a winner, not a victim
