A winning hand

The document outlines a strategy for Canada's emissions reductions, distinguishing between 'safe bet' solutions for short-term results and 'wild card' solutions for long-term, cost-effective reductions. By 2030, safe bets are expected to provide at least two-thirds of reductions, while wild cards provide less than one-third. By 2050, this dynamic may reverse, with wild cards potentially providing up to two-thirds of the reductions needed to reach the net zero target if they prove scalable and cost-effective.

• Short-term emissions reductions in 2030 are expected to be driven primarily by 'safe bet' solutions, which would likely account for at least two-thirds of the reductions, while 'wild cards' would generate less than one-third.
• The proportion of emissions reductions provided by different solution types could shift by 2050; if wild card solutions are scalable and cost-effective, they could provide up to two-thirds of Canada's reductions by that date.
