Le Canada doit aller au-delà des États-Unis pour éviter de prendre du retard
Summary
The document warns that Canada faces significant economic risks if it follows the United States' lead in rolling back climate policies, as the rest of the world continues to transition toward clean energy. It highlights the rapid growth of electric vehicles globally, the expansion of carbon markets in China and India, and the implementation of carbon tariffs in the EU and UK. To maintain competitiveness and diversify exports, the author urges the Canadian federal government to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, finalize methane regulations for oil and gas, complete clean electricity investment tax credits, and publish a domestic climate taxonomy.
Key insights
- Global adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly reducing oil demand, with EVs expected to represent 25% of global car sales this year and 40% within five years, which will lower global demand by over 5 million barrels of oil per day.
- Major emitters China and India are advancing climate efforts; China is expanding its carbon market to include steel, cement, and aluminium—increasing covered emissions by 3 billion metric tonnes—while India plans to launch a national carbon emissions trading system next year.
- The European Union and the United Kingdom are implementing carbon tariffs on imported goods (by 2026 for the EU and 2027 for the UK), meaning exporters will pay tariffs unless they are subject to carbon pricing in their own territory.
- Despite uncertainty caused by US policy shifts, global investment in the energy transition remains active, exemplified by Australia's progress with its climate taxonomy and a vigorous green bond market.
