politiques climatiques plus robustes peuvent rapprocher canada principaux partenaires commerciaux

The Canadian Climate Institute finds that Canada is lagging behind its major global trading partners in the adoption of key climate and sustainable finance policies. While Canada has implemented carbon pricing and net-zero commitments, it lacks a national taxonomy, mandatory climate disclosure, and formal transition plan frameworks. This policy gap risks increasing costs for Canadian businesses and hindering their ability to compete in markets that are increasingly aligning around carbon neutrality and transparent climate risk reporting.

• Canada is falling behind its major trading partners in the adoption of five key climate and sustainable finance policies: net-zero commitments, climate investment taxonomies, carbon pricing/emissions trading, mandatory climate disclosure, and transition plan frameworks. Only two of these five policies are currently in place in Canada.
• Canada lacks a national climate investment taxonomy, which makes it difficult for domestic companies to demonstrate their alignment with net-zero goals to international investors and supply chains. In contrast, most other analyzed partners have established or are establishing such taxonomies, with Japan and the UK providing strong guidance through other means.
• Canada is significantly lagging in mandatory climate disclosure and formalized transition plan frameworks. While other partners are implementing mandatory requirements for listed companies to report climate risks, Canada relies on voluntary standards, as securities regulators have blocked efforts to make them mandatory.
• While Canada was an early adopter of carbon pricing, the recent removal of pricing for consumers could create a gap between Canadian incentives and those of its partners, potentially forcing Canadian companies to pay carbon tariffs to access certain foreign markets.
