DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Fall Mallory Lecture\, delivered by Professor Kathryn 
 Harrison (UBC)\n\nThis event is free but registration is required by click
 ing on this link.\n\nThe event will also be livestreamed here.\n\nTwenty-f
 ive years ago\, Kathryn Harrison wrote in Passing the Buck that environmen
 tal protection in Canada had been undermined by federal deference to provi
 ncial development of natural resources. That norm has been jettisoned in r
 ecent years with emergence of a more climate-activist federal government -
 - resulting in heated federal-provincial conflicts over carbon pricing\, e
 nvironmental assessment\, and proposals for a clean electricity standard a
 nd oil and gas emissions cap.\n\nIn her Mallory Lecture\, Harrison will ar
 gue that these conflicts reflect the fundamental incompatibility of climat
 e change mitigation and economic reliance on fossil fuels. Canada thus fac
 es a choice between two valued goals: intergovernmental harmony and climat
 e action. While recent policy development suggests the current federal gov
 ernment is more willing than its predecessors to prioritize climate action
 \, federal resolve is being challenged in two ways. The premise that clima
 te action can be reconciled with thriving fossil fuel exports is being tes
 ted as growing oil and gas production emissions run up against Canada’s Pa
 ris Agreement commitment to reduce emissions by 40% by 2030. In addition\,
  cost of living concerns amplified by populist campaigns by federal and pr
 ovincial partisans are testing voters’ willingness to pay for climate acti
 on -- even as Canada’s forests burn.\n\nKathryn Harrison is Professor of P
 olitical Science and Brenda and David McLean Chair of Canadian Studies at 
 the University of British Columbia. She received Bachelor’s and Master’s d
 egrees in Chemical Engineering before completing her PhD in Political Scie
 nce. Professor Harrison has worked in the oil industry and as a policy ana
 lyst for both Environment Canada and the United States Congress. She has s
 erved as Senior Associate Dean and Acting Dean in the UBC Faculty of Arts.
  Harrison has published widely on Canadian and US environmental policy. Sh
 e is chair of the Expert Advisory Panel on climate mitigation of the Canad
 ian Climate Institute and a member of British Columbia’s Climate Solutions
  Council.\n\nThe lecture will be followed by a Q&A and reception.\n
