Opinion: All Canadians must become climate leaders - battery storage systems

Climate change has affected many things Canadians value.
Our extraordinary landscape is the last large ecosystem on Earth;
Our iconic species, such as reindeer, salmon and Eagles;
Our glaciers, rivers and lakes;
Even our ski hills and maple syrup, not to mention our country's favorite games (2100 m, future Wayne Gretzky practice on their backyard ice rink in winter may not have ice
These changes send out a clear message that we must completely change the system of our lives, including how we manage the landscape, run our industry, make consumer choices, and build our city.
Clearly, this is a complex challenge that requires action by innovative leaders at many levels.
Carney, the current governor of the Bank of England and former governor of the Bank of Canada, is an outspoken expert in climate risk.
He noted that the number of extreme climate events around the world has tripled, and the claim costs thus paid have increased by five times.
Canadians have already felt these effects.
Canadian Parliamentary budget officials have warned that extreme weather could cost Canadian taxpayers $4.
Between 2016 and 92 billion a year2020.
Carney also warned that as the world moves away from carbon emissions,
Investment in fossil fuels will lose value.
The evidence in this regard has already appeared.
India recently announced that its coal-fired power plants are idle assets, only as backup assets.
With the development of the country to renewable energy.
The good news is that the transition to a sustainable future provides companies and financiers with trillions of dollars worth of opportunity, Carney said.
At the same time, renewable technologies such as battery storage and solar panels have grown exponentially, and costs have fallen sharply, accelerating opportunities for system transformation.
Canada has begun to take advantage of these developments.
Under the leadership of the Trudeau government, the federal government's leadership on climate change has changed dramatically.
Canada has actively participated in the formulation of the Paris agreement of 2015 --
Over the past decade, our role has been dramatically reversed because of our commitment to fossil fuels, which we often receive the annual fossil award.
2016 a year later
The federal government held long-term consultations with Canadians on the priorities of climate action and approved the Pan-
Canada's clean growth and climate change framework with provincial and regional leaders.
The plan takes concrete steps for a strategic plan to reduce emissions (including national carbon taxes), resist impacts, and includes measures aimed at stimulating low-emission investments
Carbon technology.
But the federal government works for all Canadians, including those who invest in the traditional resource industry.
We cannot expect all climate leadership to come from this level.
The key achievement the Trudeau government has achieved so far in climate action is to open the door to change.
Now Canadians at all levels can go through them --
The need for action is becoming increasingly evident.
What we need now is the kind of "system leader" described by scholar Peter Senge "--
People who help people see the big picture and promote dialogue, thus improving clarity and understanding differences and innovation;
Help us shift our attention from passive problem solving to a leader who solves problems together.
Create the future.
These leaders also help to promote collective leadership within and across cooperative organizations and build networks that promote each other's efforts.
Canada already has outstanding examples of such leadership on climate change.
City of Vancouver mayor Greg Robertson is the only Canadian to be invited to attend the Pope's 2015 meeting of the mayor of the environment.
Toronto writer Naomi Klein is a world
Thought Leader of climate change.
The National NGO Clean Energy Canada has demonstrated the benefits of switching to renewable energy for Canada.
In 2015, 60 Canadian scholars proposed Canada's achievable plan to combat climate change.
Even Canadian oil sands workers keen to position themselves for the ongoing shift have formed an alliance called iron and Earth, which is re-training members to become experts in renewable energy technologies.
As we move towards transformative, systemic change, the fact that 165 countries have ratified the Paris agreement shows that people around the world are willing to act as a global village on this issue
Canadians from all walks of life must join this momentum and start working to create the future we want for ourselves and for future generations.
We can all be climate leaders.
Each of us should ask ourselves: how can I help? . .
