Perspectives énergétiques canadiennes 2018 : horizon 2050
Summary
The report argues that while Canada's greenhouse gas reduction goals are achievable, neither federal nor provincial governments are currently on track to meet them. It emphasizes that the energy sector is responsible for 80% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions and urges the public to look beyond carbon pricing and pipelines to recognize the broader transformative potential of the energy transition. The text notes that other countries are managing this transition more organizedly, gaining economic advantages and avoiding future costly re-engineering risks.
Key insights
- The energy sector is the primary driver of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, accounting for 80% of the total.
- Current efforts by both the federal government and Canadian provinces are insufficient to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets, despite these goals being achievable.
