Canada: Teck Resources withdraws from oil sands mining project in Alberta, citing absence of a framework that reconciles resource development and climate change
- The project would have increased Canada’s oil production by about 5%, while destroying 24,000 acres of boreal forest and releasing millions of tons of climate-warming carbon dioxide every year
- Environmental think tank says, “there was never an economic pathway for this project under global demand scenarios consistent with the Paris climate agreement”
