Season 10 begins with climate—and the release of RBC Climate Action Institute’s Climate Action 2026 report. John Stackhouse is joined by Clara Barby, Senior Partner at Just Climate, to pressure-test what’s actually scaling—and what’s getting stuck.

They start with a simple filter for policy and investment: solutions that don’t require behaviour change and don’t come with a green premium. From there, Clara makes the case for Canada’s ‘land transition’ as a ripe opportunity—investing in tools and inputs that help farmers and land managers decarbonize while strengthening the systems we rely on. They also dig into why CCUS remains a complex case: carbon price, CapEx, infrastructure, and a fragmented value chain—and what it would take to unlock bankable projects. And they look at how AI-driven power demand is changing the investment lens on electrification and grid build.

If you’re trying to separate climate ambition from execution, this conversation is your Season 10 starting point—and a guide to the report behind it.
