This event is co-organized by the Center for Environmental Law and Global Sustainability (CELGS) and the Research Center on the Future of Cities (RCFC). The Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development will present its latest report and the lessons learned from Canada's record on climate change.

Jerry V. DeMarco assumed the role of Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development in February 2021. A lifelong interest in nature and a 25-year career devoted to working in the environmental field have positioned Mr. DeMarco as a leading Canadian expert in environmental policy and law.

Before joining the OAG, from 2019 to 2021, Mr. DeMarco served as Commissioner of the Environment and Assistant Auditor General at the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario.
