WCS Canada comments on Ontario's IESO Pathways to Decarbonization May 2023
O'Connor, C., Farrell, C., & Ray, J.
Abstract
We support actions to help Ontario and Canada meet their climate commitments, including efforts to reduce emissions across all sectors, and protecting natural carbon stores and sinks such as the northern forests and peatlands in the far north in Ontario. Therefore, we support transitioning Ontario’s electricity production to lower emitting sources. However, our overarching concern is that the IESO Pathways to Decarbonization Study is currently very narrowly scoped on maintaining business-as-usual approaches, and that the proposed approach will therefore fail to meet climate commitments and targets.

Perpetuating current approaches and proceeding with an “extraction first” mentality is going to have massive climate consequences.
