Loi de 2018 sur la mise en œuvre du Plan vert et climatique du Manitoba

The document analyzes Manitoba's 2018 climate accountability legislation, highlighting its use of a 'carbon savings account' with five-year cumulative emission reduction targets and an independent expert advisory council. While praising the framework's governance and the advantage of cumulative budgets over annual targets, the study notes that the absence of long-term targets and a multi-budget strategy reduces predictability and accountability for investors and policymakers.

• Manitoba's 2018 legislation established a 'carbon savings account' featuring five-year cumulative emission reduction targets, mandatory government action plans, and a system of regular reporting and monitoring.
• The Act created an independent expert advisory council to provide recommendations on the Climate and Green Plan and emission reduction targets, though the council lacks legal authority.
• For the 2018-2022 period, the emission reduction target was initially set at one megatonne, but was expected to increase to two megatonnes following the introduction of a fixed carbon tax of $25 per tonne on July 1, 2020.
• The use of cumulative emission budgets is considered superior to annual targets because it limits total emissions over a specific period, reflecting the actual impact on climate change.
• The lack of legally binding long-term emission targets and the practice of setting only one budget at a time diminish climate accountability, predictability, and certainty for businesses and investors.
