Climate groups push for transparency in alleged fossil fuel education influence | Globalnews.ca

A report suggests at least 39 oil and gas companies exercised some measure of education influence.
It says industry's most common influence tactic is establishing or funding third -party education non-profits that supply material to teachers and run programs related to energy, environment and climate change.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers did not respond to requests for comment.
The report argues the industry’s support for education groups has taken place in a vacuum of reliable and independent climate and environment education materials for public school teachers.
It suggests provinces prohibit groups from providing education resources if they have ties to the oil and gas industry.
The climate education gap was noted in a discussion paper prepared last year for the federal government.
