Le dernier rapport sur la tarification du carbone du DPB présente de grosses lacunes

The Canadian Climate Institute argues that the Parliamentary Budget Officer's (PBO) analysis of carbon pricing is flawed because it ignores the economic costs of climate change and the global shift toward carbon neutrality. While acknowledging the PBO's finding that 80% of households in most provinces benefit from rebates, the Institute asserts that the PBO uses a fictitious scenario of zero climate consequences and fails to account for the risk to Canada's competitiveness and exports in a world where 92% of global GDP comes from countries targeting carbon neutrality.

• The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) confirms that in most provinces, 80% of households will benefit from carbon pricing, with rebates ensuring equity for lower-income Canadians and encouraging emission reductions.
• Climate damages currently cost each Canadian taxpayer approximately $720 annually, a figure projected to rise to about $2,000 per year by 2050. These damages are expected to cause a GDP loss of $25 billion in 2025, representing half of the annual growth.
• The PBO's analysis is criticized for using a 'fictitious' scenario that compares costs against a situation where Canada ignores the climate problem without any consequences, thereby neglecting avoided climate impacts and the efficiency of carbon pricing in reducing emissions at the lowest cost.
• Canada faces economic risks if it fails to reduce emissions, as 92% of global GDP is generated by countries aiming for carbon neutrality. Failure to adapt could undermine competitiveness and lead to penalties on exports through carbon border adjustments.
• Other major economies are investing heavily in clean growth, such as the United States allocating nearly 370 billion US dollars via the Inflation Reduction Act and the European Union through its Green Deal.
