This briefing by the International Institute for Sustainable Development and Équiterre proposes a four-criteria framework to identify and eliminate 'inefficient' fossil fuel subsidies in Canada, arguing that current efforts are fragmented and lack a clear definition of inefficiency.

A joint submission by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), Environmental Defence, Wilderness Committee, and Safe Food Matters Inc. providing recommendations for the targeted review of the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA) and the transformation of the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

This report outlines the necessity and pathways for electrifying heating in Canada's commercial and institutional (C&I) buildings to meet 2050 net-zero targets. It argues that electricity's share of C&I heating must rise from under 15% to at least 75% by 2050. The document identifies key barriers—including cheap natural gas and financing gaps—and proposes five catalysts: near-term planning, integrated utility regulation, aligned power supply planning, building performance standards, and innovative public-private financing.

This report advocates for the rapid electrification of heating in Canada's commercial and institutional buildings to meet 2050 net-zero targets. It argues that electricity's share of heating must rise from under 15% to at least 75% by 2050. To overcome barriers like low natural gas prices and high capital costs, the report proposes five catalysts: short-term corporate action plans, updated regulatory mandates for utilities, harmonized energy planning, building performance standards, and new public-private financing models.

This report by the Electrifying Canada task force outlines the necessity and pathways for electrifying medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) fleets in Canada to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It identifies key barriers—such as vehicle supply, charging infrastructure, and financing—and proposes four catalysts to accelerate adoption: near-term corporate planning, proactive utility alignment, government ZEV mandates, and innovative public-private financing.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), on behalf of the 'Électrifier le Canada' working group, outlines strategies to accelerate the electrification of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) fleets in Canada to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

This report by the Electrifying Canada task force outlines the requirements and barriers to scaling up Canada's clean electricity system to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It argues that current utility planning is insufficient to meet the projected demand growth and proposes five catalysts—including regulatory mandates and private investment—to accelerate the transition.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), on behalf of the 'Electrifying Canada' private sector task force, outlines the requirements and obstacles for scaling up clean electricity production in Canada to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It argues that current utility planning is insufficient to meet the projected demand and proposes five catalysts—specifically focusing on regulatory mandates, proactive planning, and private investment—to accelerate the transition.

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) describes COP26 in Glasgow as a failure that prioritized 'false solutions' and corporate interests over the immediate action required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The statement highlights the exclusion of civil society and Indigenous Peoples, the inadequacy of climate finance for the global South, and the failure of negotiated texts to commit to a full phase-out of fossil fuels, despite groundbreaking side-initiatives.

A statement from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE/ACME) addressing systemic racism, colonialism, and Islamophobia in Canada, specifically reflecting on the discovery of unmarked graves at a residential school in Kamloops and a hate crime in London, Ontario.

A sign-on letter from environmental and health organizations urging the European Union Commission and Parliament to ban the sale and use of face masks containing nanographene and other nanoparticles, citing toxicity warnings from Canadian health authorities.

This research paper by Adrian Murray examines the contradictions between Canada's image as a progressive global leader and its actual response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The author argues that the pandemic exposed systemic inequalities, particularly regarding the treatment of seniors in long-term care, essential workers, and Indigenous populations, while criticizing the government's preference for virus mitigation over suppression and its role in global vaccine hoarding.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) examines the lack of transparency in reporting tax subsidies for fossil fuels in Canada. It argues that current reporting is incomplete and advocates for the adoption of international best practices, specifically the WTO definition of subsidies and the UN's SDG methodology, to accurately quantify foregone government revenue.

Health professionals in Canada are calling on federal political parties to treat climate change as a public health emergency. They argue that limiting global warming to 1.5°C is essential to avoid catastrophic health impacts and that climate solutions—such as reducing fossil fuel reliance and promoting active transport—would provide immediate health benefits and reduce healthcare costs.

This briefing by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) examines the status of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and the role of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). It details the two primary cooperation avenues (Article 6.2 and 6.4), the challenges of establishing a rulebook—including debates over additionality and double counting—and provides examples of pilot projects and national strategies, particularly focusing on Canada's preparations.

This fact sheet from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment outlines the various ways climate change negatively impacts human health, specifically focusing on the Canadian context. It details risks ranging from extreme heat and air pollution to mental health struggles, vector-borne diseases, and threats to food and water security.

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) submitted a response to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) regarding the draft assessment framework for non-tax fossil fuel subsidies. IISD argues that the current framework is too restrictive and risks excluding many subsidies, thereby undermining Canada's G7 commitment to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies by 2025 and its Paris Agreement emissions targets for 2030.

This briefing introduces the concept of "hours-of-safety" to measure how long a home can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature during power outages caused by extreme weather. It argues that improving building envelopes through insulation and air leakage reduction can increase passive survivability and save lives, particularly for vulnerable populations.

This report proposes a framework for 'International Mitigation Partnerships' (IMPs) to leverage Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and natural climate solutions, specifically within the forest and land sector, to bridge the global emissions gap by 2030.

This guide, published by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, details greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada by sector and region. It outlines national commitments under the Paris Agreement, the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, and provides a detailed breakdown of emissions trends and per capita data for each province and territory as of 2016.
