In Conversation: Economic Lookahead with Mark Carney

April 24, 2024

In 2024, Canada finds itself at a crossroads of several immense transformations sweeping the world, whether through the rewiring of the global economy and geopolitics, of our energy systems, or with rapid advances in A.I., even of intelligence itself.  In this time of great transitions, Canadians are facing new worries together about their homes, their wages, their kids, and our shared future. How do we rise to these challenges and opportunities? Mark Carney (United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Change and Finance, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and of the Bank of England, and chair of Canada 2020’s Advisory Board) talks about our country’s economic outlook, and what governments, innovators, and economic leaders can do to build growth for all. Eme Onuoha joins him in conversation.
