Climate change: our plan (test)
In 2022, Canada launched the most comprehensive climate plan in Canada's history. For the first time in our country's history, estimates show Canada's emissions are dropping, while Canada's economy is growing. We have cut millions of tons of pollution [exact metric] and seen billions of dollars invested into a cleaner economy [exact metric], creating good new jobs in communities from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Canadians can have it both ways - progress towards cleaner air and a stronger, cleaner economy,
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.
With ambitious goals, Canada’s climate initiatives are designed to strengthen the economy, create green 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.
Carbon pollution pricing
Carbon pricing is part of the national climate strategy to lower emissions and encourage businesses and individuals to adopt cleaner practices. By assigning a cost to carbon pollution, Canada aims to reduce its environmental impact and encourage innovation in green technology, reward sustainable choices, and help Canada meet its emission reduction targets, ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.
Discover why there’s a price on carbon pollution, how it works, its impact, and how the proceeds are returned to Canadians.
