Canada is moving toward a new industrial carbon pricing agreement in Alberta, aiming to raise the cost of credits to C$130 per metric ton by 2040. This move seeks to balance emissions reductions in heavy industry with economic competitiveness and oil production growth. Meanwhile, a new climate study warns that extreme heat could disrupt the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. Researchers indicate that a significant portion of matches may occur in temperatures exceeding safety limits, challenging existing cooling and hydration strategies.
