Carboneutralité au Canada et maintenant

The Canadian Climate Institute highlights the importance of Bill C-12, which legally enshrines Canada's net-zero goal for 2050 and establishes accountability structures. The author emphasizes that the federal government must now develop a detailed emissions reduction plan for 2030, including a 2026 interim target, focusing on energy efficiency and clean electricity. The document calls for collaboration between federal, provincial, and Indigenous governments, as well as the private sector, to ensure the 2030 targets are met.

• The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (Bill C-12) legally mandates the country's net-zero goal, requires legally binding targets for 2050, and creates official governance and accountability mechanisms.
• The federal government is required to produce an emissions reduction plan to meet the 2030 target within six months, which must include an interim goal for 2026 to ensure the trajectory is maintained.
• To achieve the 2030 objective, Canada should prioritize proven strategies such as improving energy efficiency, producing clean electricity, and replacing fossil fuels with electricity for heating and vehicles.
• The legislative framework requires plans to detail joint measures taken with other Canadian governments and describe initiatives from the private sector and Indigenous peoples.
