Where’s Canada in all this?
Canada is definitely one of the worst performers where weather management is concerned. We rank slightly higher than the United States and China at the very bottom of the ranking. Only 6% of companies in Canada are currently aware of this issue. But, that does not mean that this awareness also includes actions taken.
78% of French companies provide low-carbon products and services, compared to 54% in Canada. Three-quarters of companies in France have installed targets for reducing their CO2 emissions in the near future.
