Considerations in a Comprehensive Approach to Canadian Climate Policy

This commentary discusses the necessary elements for an effective implementation of the pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and Clean Growth to meet 2030 international climate commitments.

• To meet international climate commitments for 2030, a national framework must acknowledge existing provincial actions, integrate the current fragmented policy landscape into a cohesive approach, and increase ambition via robust programs and policies.
• The pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and Clean Growth is the result of a year of collaboration between federal, provincial, and territorial governments, though significant work remains regarding its design and implementation in the following years.
