The Canadian Climate Institute outlines a path for Canada to meet its 2030 emission targets, emphasizing the need for a strict oil and gas emissions cap, a clean electricity framework by 2035, and improved carbon pricing certainty via carbon contracts for difference. It notes that these domestic efforts are supported by global trends, such as the EU's Green Deal and the US Inflation Reduction Act, and calls for increased leadership from provinces, territories, and Indigenous governments to ensure a successful energy transition and climate adaptation.

  • Canada's first Emissions Reduction Plan could enable the country to meet its emission obligations if implemented without delay, with five specific policies being sufficient to reach 2030 targets.
  • Three priority policies could be implemented in 2023: an emissions cap for the oil and gas sector, clean electricity regulations, and enhancements to carbon pricing.
  • A strict emissions cap for the oil and gas sector is essential because emissions in this sector grew by nearly 20% between 2005 and 2019, and without regulation, the sector will exceed its 2030 goal.
  • The federal government aims for carbon-neutral electricity production by 2035, which is necessary for the decarbonization of other sectors and to meet 2030 and 2050 reduction commitments.
  • To attract large-scale investment, Canada needs carbon price certainty, which could be achieved in 2023 through the use of carbon contracts for difference.
  • International pressure on Canada to act has increased due to the European Union's Green Deal aiming for climate neutrality by 2050 and the United States' Inflation Reduction Act.
  • National resilience requires the rapid implementation of the federal government's first National Adaptation Strategy to address climate-related disasters that cost lives and billions of dollars.
