The report analyzes 67 of the 129 measures in Canada's Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP), finding that while 44% may reduce poverty, 19% could increase inequality. It highlights that CAD 10 billion in funding is tied to measures that may exacerbate inequality without social safeguards. The analysis suggests that sector-specific risks—such as 'renovictions' from building retrofits or the regressive nature of ZEV subsidies—require complementary policies like public transit expansion and national energy poverty strategies to ensure an equitable transition.

The Atlantic region contains approximately 10% of the world's coral reefs, with over 75% currently affected by local threats and more than 30% at high or very high risk. While 631 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) cover about 30% of these reefs, only 6% of the assessed area is classified as fully effective. Projections indicate that climate-related threats could push the proportion of reefs at risk to 100% by 2050.
