Premier Smith working in partnership with Rebecca Schulz

Today , Premier Smith working in partnership with Rebecca Schulz the Minister of Environment and Protected Areas, to address a significant measure that Alberta is implementing to safeguard our province's economy and assist our businesses in remaining competitive.

As we advance in this period of swift transformation, it is crucial that we adopt a proactive stance in tackling the challenges presented by climate change, while also capitalizing on the opportunities it offers. Today, we are unveiling a new initiative focused on decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in critical sectors, including oil and gas, alongside investing in clean technologies and encouraging sustainable land-use planning.

This all-encompassing strategy will not only aid us in achieving our environmental objectives but also bolster the long-term viability of Alberta's economy, generate new employment opportunities, and uphold our status as a frontrunner in the global energy sector. By collaborating with industry stakeholders, Indigenous communities, and local governments, we are optimistic that this initiative will foster innovation, promote economic development, and secure a thriving future for all residents of Alberta.
