When it comes to climate change, we need new policy to shift finance in line with the public good. https://t.co/ftn7oaXb1D

I outlined to the @globeandmail: “All of Canada’s non-U.S. trade partners advanced on sustainable finance policies – some with taxonomies, almost all with disclosures, almost all with 1.5-degree-aligned transition plans,” a level which Canada must meet. https://t.co/rUTUmN17Tz

Climate change dominated Carney’s work in recent years, but it’s currently unclear whether his push to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy is on hold

I spoke with @LeDevoir @NatObserver about finance and climate change, they noted that @MarkJCarney and myself both point to Canada as "lagging behind" global partners in setting rules. We need to fix this, I provided recommendations:

Testifying before the Senate in May 2024, the prime minister advocated for a "transition planning requirement" for Canadian financial institutions to prepare for the shift to carbon neutrality.

J'ai parlé avec @LeDevoir de la finance et du changement climatique. Ils ont noté que @MarkJCarney et moi-même avont dit que "le Canada est à la traîne" par rapport à nos partenaires internationaux. On devons y remédier, j'ai conseillé des recommandations: https://t.co/nlr9bIEDID

Most importantly: Since you just read the words “King” and “Canada” paired together - take a minute today to learn a new thing about Indigenous communities on this land. This is an especially good moment to turn your brain to learning about the history & future of Reconciliation.

I’m hugely honoured to have been awarded a King Charles III Coronation Medal, awarded to people for having made exceptional contributions to Canada! Our country is super, and it’s such an honour to work with people to help make it even better.

The @FT asked me what @MarkJCarney as PM means during a trade war. “As a central banker who has pulled two economies [the UK and Canada] out of a crisis, the challenge now is preventing us from falling into one”. Climate crisis prevention included. https://t.co/2rKJF13tXH

Likewise CPP can focus on return and the long-term. The distinction isn't contributors vs non-contributors - these are public pension plans! for hardworking Canadians! - but managing money well for both today and tomorrow's contributor/retiree. Again, pensions for the long term.

The CDPQ's dual mandate on returns and economic development promote a long-term horizon within which to prioritize the beneficiary/contributor's interests. Pensions are long-term investors, so that's a good thing.

The article talks about "the interests of all Québécois, not just those receiving a pension" - almost all working Québécois contribute to CDPQ as our provincial public pension plan. The interests of the province as a whole align with the interests of beneficiaries/contributors.

I'll explain what I'm quoted on here: ➕ Pension funds should definitely prioritize good returns for Canadians. Retirees rely on this. ➕ The CDPQ is super because it prioritizes both returns and the province's development. Creates a long horizon. https://t.co/o9nWMRJkXq

The @globebusiness Changemaker Award highlights leaders in Canada who are proactive and producing results. I'm honoured to have won the award for 2025. I'm really most honoured by the line "if anyone can keep climate justice top-of-mind in a world gone mad, it's Segal".

It is 2025. David Bowie has the anthem for the year re: climate action. Climate pollution should drop in half by 2030. We're way off track. So: "We've got five years, what a surprise; Five years, that's all we've got." Happy new year.

The Climate-Aligned Finance Act. Labelled by The @FT as among "the most interesting pieces of climate legislation currently in the works anywhere". Agreed, @simonmundy.

Thanks @TheHillTimes for inviting this oped - "Voters want a financial system aligned with climate action". Climate transition plans are one key policy, and @SenRosaGalvez Climate Aligned Finance Act (CAFA) outlines a comprehensive solution set. Read on: https://t.co/oRazYMbosM

Requiring climate transition plans is one key policy, as is clarifying that group leaders should aim to help mitigate climate change and its resulting risks.
