Pourquoi la croissance propre est le fondement d'une forte reprise économique

The author contends that climate, growth, and social goals are inseparable, warning that neglecting any of these dimensions undermines Canada's long-term competitiveness. The text highlights the vulnerability of high-emission provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan, the growth potential of clean technology exports, and the disproportionate impact of climate change on low-income populations and Indigenous reserves. It concludes that recovery policies should move beyond a return to the status quo by addressing the interlinked nature of economic and social prosperity.

• Climate action, economic growth, and social objectives are interdependent, and ignoring any of these factors threatens Canada's long-term competitiveness and growth.
• Provinces with higher emissions are more vulnerable to global transition risks and show slowing economic growth. Alberta and Saskatchewan generate approximately $1,000 of economic activity per tonne of emissions, compared to $3,000 to $4,000 per tonne in Ontario and Quebec.
• Canada's clean and green technology exports grew from $9 billion in 2012 to $12 billion in 2018, with a potential trajectory to reach $37 billion by 2050, though this remains significantly lower than crude oil exports, which were nearly $90 billion in 2018.
• Climate change exacerbates systemic socio-economic disparities, specifically affecting low-income individuals, the elderly, and Indigenous communities. For instance, over 20% of residences on Indigenous reserves are at risk of a 100-year flood.
• Air pollution causes over 14,000 premature deaths annually in Canada; greenhouse gas reduction measures, such as transport electrification, can improve public health by cleaning the air.
