As the world’s energy systems evolve, Canada’s resources remain a crucial asset. The global move toward electrification increases the need for resources like copper, platinum, manganese, and uranium for energy modernization; as well as lithium, cobalt, and nickel while growing populations require potash for food production. Canadian energy resources, including oil, natural gas, and hydrogen, produced responsibly, are key to global energy security and can support emissions reductions internationally during the transition to lower-carbon energy. Climate Related Opportunities Our businesses and issuers are well positioned to be at the forefront of this transition, and TMX Group is focused on facilitating transition capital opportunities that will help finance and scale climate solutions and economic growth6.
