Canada Is Stepping Up its Climate Ambition, Now we all have to step up

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) responds to Canada's updated climate plan, highlighting commitments to carbon pricing, national adaptation, and low-carbon economy investments while calling for further action from provinces and the private sector.

• Canada's climate plan includes a carbon price that will rise by CAD 15 annually from 2022 until 2030, accompanied by increasing rebates for citizens to encourage carbon footprint reduction.
• The government has committed to creating Canada's first national adaptation plan to address climate resilience and inequalities.
• Canada will invest CAD 15 billion over the next ten years to facilitate a low-carbon transition, focusing on renewable energy, building retrofits, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
• The IISD asserts that the federal plan must be supported by just transition policies for affected workers, increased ambition from provinces, and commitments from the private sector to ensure international competitiveness.
