The report argues that the world is falling short of the Paris Agreement's temperature goals and must prioritize international cooperation on forests. It introduces 'International Mitigation Partnerships' as a framework under Article 6 to channel finance and technical support toward natural climate solutions, specifically REDD+. The authors provide a three-part typology of these partnerships: Simple Recognition of Results, Bilateral Credit Transfer, and Multi-lateral Partnerships. The document emphasizes that such partnerships can lower the cost of climate action, support the international aviation sector's CORSIA obligations, and provide co-benefits for biodiversity and sustainable development.

The report identifies that Ontario provided nearly CAD 700 million in public subsidies for fossil fuel consumption in 2018/19. These primarily consist of tax exemptions for aviation, railway, and agricultural fuels, as well as direct spending on natural gas infrastructure. The authors argue that these subsidies distort the market and hinder climate goals, recommending a transparent provincial self-review to identify more sustainable alternatives for energy affordability and industry competitiveness.

The report details Canada's greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2016, highlighting that while overall emissions grew nearly 17%, the oil and gas and transportation sectors were the primary drivers. It examines the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change and provides a detailed breakdown of emissions by province and territory, noting significant per capita disparities between jurisdictions like Alberta and Quebec.

The document outlines the climate-related risks facing health care facilities (HCFs) and provides a framework for mitigation and adaptation. It highlights that 90% of health care life-cycle GHG emissions in Canada are generated upstream in the supply chain, with pharmaceuticals and hospitals being major contributors. The guide recommends using resiliency checklists, vulnerability assessments, and sustainable procurement to reduce environmental footprints. It also discusses specific interventions in energy efficiency, transportation (including telemedicine), and the reduction of potent inhalation anesthetic gases.

The document outlines how health professionals can leverage their status as trusted messengers to drive climate action. It suggests clinical approaches like motivational interviewing to encourage plant-based diets and active transport, and professional strategies such as integrating climate change into medical curricula. It also details advocacy methods, including using media to build public support and collaborating with other organizations to influence policy-makers, citing specific Canadian examples like the coal phase-out in Alberta and the promotion of plant-based proteins in Canada's Food Guide.

The document is a comprehensive guide for healthcare professionals to address climate change. It covers the science of climate change, its global and Canadian health impacts, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in Canada, and practical solutions. It emphasizes 'co-benefits'—where climate actions like promoting plant-based diets or active transport immediately improve public health. The guide provides specific strategies for making healthcare facilities more resilient and sustainable, such as reducing the carbon footprint of anesthesia and supply chains, and offers a framework for community-level adaptation and professional advocacy.

The document argues that climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century, citing specific impacts on Canadians such as respiratory issues from wildfires, heat-related deaths in Quebec, and food insecurity in the Canadian Arctic. It calls for federal action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, phase out coal and fossil fuel subsidies, and invest in public health resilience and a just transition for workers.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and other health professionals argue that climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century, citing immediate impacts in Canada such as wildfires, heat-related deaths, and food insecurity in the Arctic. They urge federal parties to adopt targets to keep warming below 1.5°C, phase out coal by 2030, and reduce emissions from the oil, gas, and transport sectors, noting that such policies would yield significant health co-benefits and reduce healthcare costs.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment states that hydraulic fracturing is linked to severe health issues, including birth defects, childhood leukemia, and respiratory problems, while also causing groundwater contamination and increased seismic activity. The organization highlights that methane emissions from the industry negate its benefits and exacerbate global warming. Consequently, it recommends a complete ban on new hydraulic fracturing projects and a halt to all fossil fuel exploration and extraction in Quebec.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) calls on the Ontario government to implement a comprehensive climate plan to address increasing health risks from extreme weather. The organization identifies transportation (33%), buildings (22%), and industry (18%) as the primary sources of emissions in Ontario and proposes specific interventions for each sector, including transit electrification, building code updates, and clean energy grants. CAPE advocates for a long-term hard emission target aligned with the 1.5°C global warming limit, benchmark targets, annual progress reports, and five-year plan reviews.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) opposes Bill 4, which proposes repealing the Climate Change Mitigation and Low-carbon Economy Act, 2016. CAPE argues that Ontario's cap-and-trade program is essential for reducing emissions in the transportation (33%), buildings (22%), and industry (18%) sectors, and has collected $2.8 billion to fund public transit, electrification, and energy efficiency. The organization emphasizes that climate change is the "greatest public health threat of this century," citing recent extreme heat in Ontario and Quebec, as well as an increase in Ontario wildfires (1,312 in 2018 compared to a 10-year average of 716). CAPE recommends that if the government proceeds with the repeal, it must immediately implement a replacement plan that commits to reducing emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 to align with the 1.5 degrees C warming limit.

The report argues that Canada's long-term prosperity is fragile, as its comprehensive wealth has grown significantly slower than its GDP. While Canada possesses high levels of natural capital, it faces risks from household debt, climate change, and an over-concentration of produced capital in housing and oil and gas infrastructure. The authors advocate for the official adoption of comprehensive wealth measurement to shift policy focus from short-term gains to long-term sustainability.

The report analyzes local content policies (LCPs) used by mineral-rich nations to increase the use of domestic labor, goods, and services in the mining sector. It details various policy instruments—ranging from mandatory quotas and ownership requirements to government incentives and voluntary business initiatives—and examines their practical application in countries such as Norway, Chile, Ghana, and Brazil. The document argues that LCPs often fail when implemented as blanket provisions without clear objectives or sufficient industrial capacity. It identifies critical prerequisites for success, including institutional readiness, a favorable business climate, and a long-term vision that transcends political cycles. The report concludes that effective LCPs require a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures, robust monitoring through key performance indicators, and strong partnerships between governments, mining firms, and local suppliers to ensure sustainable economic diversification.

The report explores how jurisdictions can cooperate through 'carbon pricing clubs' to link carbon pricing instruments (CPIs) and reduce emissions cost-effectively. By analyzing non-climate institutions—specifically APEC, MTCR, OECD, and IFTA—the authors identify key governance dimensions: membership rules, decision-making processes, and compliance mechanisms. The report argues that 'hard coordination' and exclusive membership are essential for maintaining environmental integrity, while centralized secretariats can reduce administrative burdens and facilitate technical alignment. It concludes that a combination of strict accession criteria, peer-review processes, and flexible decision-making (such as majority voting) can help clubs adapt to changing political and economic circumstances while safeguarding their environmental goals.

The document argues that the PMRA's proposed phase-out of imidacloprid is too slow and narrow in scope, failing to account for the risks to wild pollinators beyond honey bees and bumblebees. It criticizes the reliance on label statements for risk mitigation, citing inadequate enforcement capacity in Canada. The authors highlight risks from environmental contamination, such as residues in non-target wildflowers and dust from treated seeds, and argue that the economic value of neonicotinoid seed treatments is overrated. They recommend a full ban on all outdoor uses, aligned with European Union regulations, and a shift toward Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

The document outlines six key actions for regional governments to decarbonize mobility: expanding electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, electrifying commercial and government fleets, implementing clean vehicle manufacturing standards, improving freight delivery efficiency, investing in public transit, and promoting non-motorized travel alternatives.

A coalition of over 115 organizations, including the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, calls on Ontario Premier Doug Ford to reinstate climate policy and meet legislated emissions targets.
