Manitoba’s Path to Net Zero: A blueprint for a sustainable and secure provincial economy

The IISD supports Manitoba's 'Path to Net Zero' plan as a framework for a low-carbon economy, praising the creation of a Climate Change Committee of Cabinet and the focus on Indigenous partnerships. However, the IISD emphasizes the need for detailed implementation plans and warns that carbon capture and storage (CCS) may be an expensive alternative to other emissions reduction opportunities.

• The 'Manitoba’s Path to Net Zero' plan integrates climate change into government decision-making by creating a Climate Change Committee of Cabinet and aims to improve sustainability in public operations, strengthen legislation, and facilitate community access to net-zero funding.
• The IISD argues that the plan's success depends on the development of detailed implementation plans, particularly regarding buildings and municipal land use, to ensure the province attracts decarbonized industries and jobs.
• The IISD expresses concern regarding the plan's inclusion of carbon capture and storage (CCS), describing the technology as an expensive method for reducing emissions and urging the government to ensure it does not divert investment from other opportunities.
