COP 16 in Cancun, Mexico

Alberta is attending the 16^th annual United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP16) on climate change in Cancun, Mexico to support an achievable, fair and comprehensive agreement.

“The world must find solutions to the challenge of meeting a growing global energy demand, retaining economic growth and reducing emissions. While climate change is the focus in Cancun, others will want to hear about the environmental performance of our oil sands. I will take this opportunity to talk about Alberta’s challenges, successes and the importance of our energy resource to all Canadians.  We have a record to be proud of and an important story to tell.”

-Minister of Environment Rob Renner, head of Alberta’s delegation in Cancun
