Les RATI et leur importance pour la concurrentialité climatique

The document examines the role of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) as a cost-effective tool for Canada to achieve its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It highlights that internal decarbonization, particularly in heavy industry, is increasingly expensive, whereas ITMOs allow Canada to account for verified emissions reductions achieved abroad. The author suggests that by integrating ITMOs into its trade and financial strategies, Canada can open new markets for its clean technologies, such as methane reduction and advanced manufacturing. Using Japan's Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) as a model, the briefing recommends that Canada establish a national coordination mechanism involving multiple government departments to manage bilateral agreements and mobilize private investment.

• Canada is currently falling short of its 2030 emissions targets and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), with modest progress hindered by economic growth, slow energy efficiency gains, and an expanding oil and gas sector.
• Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), defined under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, allow countries to transfer verified emissions reductions from one nation to another to be applied toward the acquiring country's NDC.
• Utilizing ITMOs could significantly lower Canada's decarbonization costs; a Canadian Climate Institute model suggests that transferring 10 megatonnes of internal reductions via ITMOs could save approximately two billion dollars by 2035.
• Canada can leverage ITMOs to promote its clean technology exports, noting that it sold 5.5 billion dollars of low-carbon products to Global South value chains in 2023, particularly in areas like methane reduction and electricity production technologies.
• The document recommends Canada emulate Japan's Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), which has established agreements with 31 countries and over 250 projects, by creating a national coordination mechanism involving Environment and Climate Change Canada, Global Affairs Canada, and Natural Resources Canada.
