Mark’s played a critical role in advancing climate action for nearly 40 years, amongst other things as the architect, negotiator, and implementor of the Countdown Acid Rain program, that led to a 70% reduction of acid gas (SO2 and NOx) emissions in Ontario between 1986 – 1994, and the Canada-US Acid Rain agreement of 1990.
