Neuf façons de renforcer la stratégie climatique du fédéral

The Canadian Climate Institute outlines nine recommendations for the federal government to enhance its climate strategy. These include integrating climate resilience into government cost-benefit analyses, improving climate risk data dissemination, prioritizing 'sure-bet' solutions like energy efficiency, and implementing a national sales quota for zero-emission vehicles. The document also advocates for targeted support for clean-tech industries, regional transition strategies for workers, and mandatory climate risk disclosures for public and private entities to ensure Canada remains competitive in a global low-carbon economy.

• The government should integrate climate adaptation and resilience directly into policy decisions and cost-benefit analyses, particularly within ministries not traditionally linked to adaptation, such as Finance, Health, Infrastructure, and Social Development.
• Current federal climate risk data, including climate projections and flood zone maps, are often incomplete or presented in formats that are not useful for private or public decision-makers.
• To reach net-zero by 2050, the government should prioritize 'sure-bet' solutions, specifically clean electricity production, energy efficiency improvements, and replacing fossil fuels with electricity in daily life, such as transitioning to electric vehicles.
• The document recommends replacing current subsidies for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) with a national sales quota to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035, arguing that subsidies are not fiscally viable for large-scale adoption.
• Canada needs to mandate climate risk data disclosure for public and private entities, including Crown corporations and financial regulators, to prevent the accumulation of physical and transitional risks that threaten financial stability.
