Marches mondiaux carbone : prochain avantage Canada énergie propre

The Canadian Climate Institute urges Canada to move beyond conceptual leadership and operationalize its use of international carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. It highlights the European Union's decision to allow international carbon credits for up to 5% of its 2040 emissions reduction target and Japan's Joint Crediting Mechanism as successful frameworks. The author suggests Canada shift its international climate finance from a spending-based model to a results-based model that generates Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), thereby attracting private capital and creating new export markets for Canadian clean energy technologies.

• The European Union has legally mandated a climate goal to reduce emissions by 90% by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, allowing for a flexibility mechanism where up to 5% of this target can be met using international carbon credits starting with a pilot phase in 2031.
• Japan's Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) serves as a model for Canada by combining international climate finance with the generation of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), which allows Japan to support developing nations, deploy its own clean technologies, and count the resulting emissions reductions toward its own targets.
• Canada has contributed to the design of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement but has not yet determined how it will utilize the system of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) to channel finance toward cost-effective emission reductions in developing economies.
• The author recommends that Canada transition its international climate finance from a model measured by dollars spent to one based on measurable results, utilizing tools like blended finance through FinDev Canada and leveraging partnerships such as the methane emission reduction project in Chile.
• Canada is already a significant player in clean energy trade with over $100 billion in exports, and it should now coordinate climate finance, trade, and foreign policy to compete with other nations like Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, and South Korea that are actively pursuing ITMOs.
