Abacus Data | Canadians see Biden taking climate action and want Canada to keep pace to stay competitive
Summary
When told of Biden’s stated intent to invest very significantly in clean energy projects, respondents are clearly of the view that Canada should follow the same path. According to Bruce Anderson, Chairman of Abacus Data: “For most Canadians, who welcomed the election of Joe Biden, his climate agenda will be seen as a positive for the future of the planet. But what is most interesting in these numbers is the fact that public opinion has crossed a tipping point – people now believe that an economy which shifts it’s an approach towards cleaner energy won’t be adding costs and losing competitiveness – they are more likely to believe that it will have a positive economic effect. With a Biden presidency kicking off the new year and game-changing clean stimulus plans from countries like Germany, the U.K., and South Korea, it’s clear that Canada must work to keep up in what might be the world’s most competitive—and economically critical—race. It’s also clear that Canadians understand what’s happening globally, and that few wish to place their bets on old ways of doing things.” We are the only research and strategy firm that helps organizations respond to the disruptive risks and opportunities in a world where demographics and technology are changing more quickly than ever.
