Canada's Climate Plan
Together, we’re building a sustainable, resilient Canada. In 2022, the Government of Canada launched its most comprehensive climate plan in the country’s history to help make the economy more efficient and greener.
We have cut millions of tonnes of pollution overall and invested billions of dollars into a cleaner economy, creating good jobs in communities from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Canada’s Climate Plan is a bold commitment to tackling climate change head-on, protecting our environment, and creating a strong economy for future generations. Canadians can have it both ways - progress towards cleaner air and a stronger economy.
Emissions Reduction Plan
Our plan puts Canada on track to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030 – allowing us to both address climate change and build a sustainable future.
The plan includes measures to promote renewable energy, improve energy efficiency, protect natural ecosystems, support clean technology innovations and more.
Building a Stronger Economy
We are paving the way for a cleaner, stronger economy by supporting the growth of good jobs and sustainable industries nationwide. Through Canada’s Climate Plan, we’re aiming to create an estimated 2.68 million clean energy jobs by 2050, spanning areas like clean transportation, renewable energy, and green building sectors. Carbon pricing is also a key part of this effort, encouraging businesses to innovate and adopt cleaner practices while making sustainable options more accessible for everyone.
With ambitious goals, Canada’s climate initiatives are designed to strengthen the economy, create good jobs, and build resilient communities across the country.
Here are a few ways the Government of Canada is working to safeguard the environment for generations to come.
